My heart is reminded what day this is
I don’t need a calendar for that
It remembers it like it was yesterday
It’s the day that I first became sad
And although I feel my sadness
And it is in everything I do and say
I am not my sadness
And it has stopped consuming my entire day
I have learned to find joy
In the smallest of things
It is often my memories of you
And the smiles they bring
As I cross this next mile marker
Of the track that is paved with grief
I have good days and bad days
Some days my grief is a relief
I remember this day
As the day I said goodbye
I think I’ll go take a minute
And have a really good cry
