Poetic Reflections on Love and Loss

Grandma Stella recalls the bittersweet echoes of love and loss through poignant verses from Kiley Dunbar and Valerie Landini.

’I did not fall in love with you

I walked in love with you

With my eyes wide open,

Choosing to take every step along the way;

I do believe in fate a d destiny

But I also believe we are fated to do the we

Are fated to do the things we would choose anyway.

And I would chose you in a hundred lifetimes

In a hundred worlds, in any version of reality;

I would find you and choose you all over again!’

A thousand words will not bring you back

Will not bring you back,

I know because I tried;

Neither will a thousand tears,

I know because I cried…

Even though death has ripped you apart

Your loved one will always be in your heart…
