My Coffee with Death
(Hushedly)
i wanted to say thank you for letting my him
stay awhile longer.
i wasn’t ready. and He’s worked too hard.
He’s loved so hard
and the value of His presence,
extinct so soon,
brought me to strange and
unnavigated seas.
i recognize the blessing
you decided to bestow
upon me and my Family.
Exiting the coffeshop,
my thoughts begin to race.
i need to get it together and write.
i need to start that gratitude journal.
i need to be more patient.
i need to get my mind right.
As Death departs,
always a couple steps behind me…
my mind slows and
I finally think to say
“thank you for reminding me,
that this place
is empty.
except for, the value
i place on things.
and He is worth
more than i have to offer.”
