From Tabitha Montgomery
There is always a part
of me that grieves all
and whom I have lost.
And it's that grief that
enhances beauty within
all I still stand and live
for, still while I am alive.
Today I went for a walk
with my family and for
a moment of reflection
I realized why sadness
can be so beautiful-
Because one day
beautiful memories
are what keep sadness
company long after the
sun goes down.
