Treading WaterĀ by Cindy Kathleen Stewart-Sampson of Tampa, FL

I tread water 
Dreading each day without my daughter 
Lois ascended to Heaven quickly one morn 
Leaving me completely forlorn 
One day, I’ll join her in glory, 
Delighting in hearing her heavenly story. 
I long to see her beautiful face,  
When we will at last, again embrace. 
I’m often given unsolicited advice, 
Causing me to feel as cold as ice. 
People demand that I must be brave, 
And valiantly ride grief’s harsh, crushing wave. 
Why do others insist on bringing me down? 
Have they failed to notice that I’ve yet to drown? 

Written in memory of Lois Kathleen Sampson, 05/04/01-01/24/14
