Analysis of Where's Bob...
I put Bob in my suitcase.
We traveled home last June.
The time will come to say goodbye
I'll sing his favorite tune
I kept a portion for myself.
As we traveled once again
I put him in a Ziplock bag
He's so easy to contain
I've misplaced him several times.
While moving here and there
He continues disappearing
I'm not sure why or where
I know I'll find him soon
He always reappears
No doubt he will guide me
As I shed a few more tears
There's Bob …
safe beside my bed
Someday soon, I'll take him out
For his final spread
We love and miss you, Bob!!

About this poem
I wrote this poem for my close friend Sue. Her husband, Bob from COVID a little over one year ago. Her grieving and healing journey has been a joy to be a part of. I'm proud of her strength and faith...and her sense of humor is so delightful to witness. Here's the journey of Bob's ashes...Enjoy
