Analysis of Years
As I sat to contemplate what o say on year twenty seven. I realized the years have gone
By swiftly yet loudly. Loudly as if a clanging gong. Clanging years, morphing together into a series of undeniable events shaping my view of the world and my life forever. Just as you seemed farther and farther away. You allowed me to see you in the eyes of a daughter, hear you in the laughter of a brother, and feel you in the advice from a sister. As time continues to tick away swiftly. God, I miss you.
