After You Had Gone
After you had gone
I wonder where you are
Where does anyone go
After death
So many say, Oh I know
I know the answer
That answer I wouldn’t trust
For you did not know my loved one
You are a stranger
I don’t think you knew
Where she went in life
I don’t think you know
Where she went after
It is something one has to experience
For themselves
Something we do alone
She loved color
Therefore, I could see her
Travel the rainbow bridge
No matter how difficult
She faced all obstacles with humor
It is said you can’t take it with you
But I think she took her laughter with her
For it has been silent since she left

This is for my Friend Selma, who recently died. I am lonely without her.

I am sorry for your loss, Annell. It is hard to come to terms with the reality that someone has passed away.
Oh Annell, "she took her laughter with her, for it has been silent since she left." How you must miss her! What a beautiful poem. Losing a friend is so hard.
What a lovely tribute to your friend. Beautiful, caring, thoughts.
Yes, it is, and today is her birthday. She died peacefully at home, a dear and gentle soul. She had suffered illness for a long, long time. I know she rests in peace today.
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. I know you miss her laughter.
I'm so sorry. It leaves such a hole in the heart when someone you treasure passes.
Loss is never easy, but your words are healing. They reach out to those of us who have lost someone. They also reach inward to your own sorrow, soothing it a bit. This is a beautiful tribute, Annell. You will hear her laughter again. It may only be an echo within you, but it is a part of you and her.
