Her Name
“Claire…
Her name is Claire.”
Words spoken choked by emotion
served with a bittersweet smile
To utter her name
fills his eyes with unshed tears
“Claire…
Her name is Claire.”
Her name so often on his mind
Rarely crosses his lips
To utter her name
a vise gripping his heart with grief
“Claire…
Her name is Claire.”
Her name heartbreakingly sweet
Her love, so sorely missed
To utter her name
to admit that she is gone and he is lost
Lost and forever grieved
By a name …

Thank You!
Very lovely, Beth. I replace the name Claire with our beloved Noah, who passed away in April from leukemia. I know that this is probably not a response that you expected. But in truth, as I read it, it immediately reminded me of our very darling son-in-law. Thank you.
I’m so sorry for your lose Nancy ((hugs))

TY!
Oy…it’s enough that Gabaldon’s words leave me in tears. Now you have to do it too?
Lol (hugs)

I think we are in for a very ‘tear-stained” time vera soon Aye ? Your Poem is lovely and primed my tear pump. Thanks Beth…
That is beautiful. Bought a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat!
Tears here also, somehow I know I need to stock up on Kleenex before Sept. 10.
Breaks my heart.
So emotional! ❤️
