All That's Left

By Ruth Y. Nott

Copyright 2005

So many years have passed into memory,

like dust blown from the path.

Too long now between visits,

and too short the moments that last.

I long to hold you all close,

to be a part of your daily lives,

but all I have now are the brief hellos

and the heartbreaking, sad goodbyes.
