SAVOR THE ESSENCE
Sadness weighs down my spirit.
A death of someone dear,
envelops me.
I will be still to allow my feelings,
free reign to develop.
I recall fondly
memories of a friendship.
Much of that person's "ESSENCE"
will remain with me always.
I need to savor slowly
what the person meant to me.
I am different because we met,
and became friends.
What remains
will eventually sustain me.
Joan adds, "Sometimes I don't always take the time to appreciate how "BLESSED" I am and how much I have grown and been changed by the "Special People" in my life! Their essence and spirit will always be with me."
