"A New Now From Then" by Susan Pearl

It has been a couple of years since you passed on into eternity,

I pause and reflect when your picture on the wall I see.

At first your picture made me feel of you being near-

And your smiling face I held so dear,

As if I could kiss or embrace you again-

But years have moved me on from then.

You have gone on to a timeless place

While I am still here in this temporary space.

Timeless and temporary are an eternity apart,

And your memory is dear in my heart,

But now when I see your picture I think of you as being gone-

You were once here, but no longer, I have been left to carry on.

The years have moved me on to find a wonderful love again,

The years have moved me on to a new now from then.
