Yesterday I cried (Free verse) by 1Sapphire1
Yesterday I cried
& on the day before also.
I wore sunglasses on one of the darkest days in Colorado but I couldn't
hide
the tears streaming down my face as I walked among strangers.
Your memorial shall remain in the hearts that you have touched rather
than near the vehicle that blossoms in your name among cranes &
columbines.
If your children still want to enter this fierce world,
they will have to find another way.
The hands of cowards have placed you into the presence of God.
Go now & spread your wings.
See splendid sights that are beyond the realm of humankind.
Make miracles happen.
For now I will continue to cry.
Not for you but for me because
I can never meet you;
the actress, the sister, the daughter....
perhaps as the angel?

work better as ....remain in the hearts you touched.... These are just tools writers use to hone down meaning. For the majority of successful writers it takes many revisions and I mean many, before they feel their poem is finished. I like your poem. I lost my father 7 yrs ago, I miss him more every year.
