Zoom. For instructions on how to join us, please call me at (951) 922-0934. All contact is confidential.

I call out to you; but you don't respond.
I hid your photos; they're too painful to view.
However, I sense you are here.
I SEE your smile in the rising sun,
And on the geraniums peeking through the hedge.
I HEAR your voice in the blowing wind,
And in the songs of birds on the fence.
Your SCENT is in the summer rain, and also
In the pine wood of your handbuilt shed.
Every morning I TASTE the sweet juice
Of the oranges that you carefully squeezed,
I FEEL your embrace in the warm sun,
And in the comfort of your worn jacket.
I'll resort to converse
In archaic verse:
With all of me,
I miss all of thee.
With all of me,
I miss all of thee!
~ Jane C.
One of our group participants wrote this poem to commemorate the second year since her much
loved, dearly missed husband passed away.
