Bereaved

Awaken memories check in, like a sudden gust of wind
The loss of loved ones, their absence felt within
You indulge in reminiscence, longing to clasp them with your fingers
Only a whiff of air brushes against your palm, and the grief lingers
Even in awareness, the death of someone dear, no one is ever prepared
Time may heal the anguish of the wound, but the loss cannot be repaired.

When A Baby Smiles

When a baby smiles, it puts the world on pause,
We forget all our troubles, we feel at ease,
For that brief moment, when a baby smiles

How magical, the smile of pure innocence,
Messenger of joy, that sparkles our tired souls,
Free from the complications of life,
For that brief moment, when a baby smiles

Completely detached from madness and chaos,
Our hearts soar, our spirits high,
We float around in bliss,
For that brief moment, when a baby smiles...
