There’s a space
on the sidewalk
where a smile once lived
greetings go undelivered
sarcasm left unsaid

my mornings
will be muted
other lives,
many lives,
will be lessened.

we’ll say remember when —
but, memories bring pain
another reminder
of someone
we’ll never see
again

      Joy and I spent a lot of time chatting on that sidewalk. She is missed by everyone. Thank you for your words of condolence. They are much appreciated.

    But she will always be a part of you Dennis. A heart that lovely, even with the life she lived, could never be diminished.
    And you have written a beautiful poem, it shows just how much she has been a part of your life. Thank you for sharing Joy, in life and in heart. Mark
