Missing you today,
I tried searching in the clouds
wishing you'd come back
called out your name to heaven
the wind whispered, he's safe here
Tears fell from my eyes
remembering what once was
young and full of life
left with only memories
teardrops fall, our hearts must break

Author Notes
My grandson, DJ, died in a tragic swimming accident on Labor Day 2008. We should be celebrating his graduation, but God had other plans.
In the tanka each line must have certain amount of syllables 5-7-5-7-7- and nothing is allowed to rhyme.
