The story of everything

Inspired by Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. We all move through loss and grief at our own pace and in our own way. It's a moving and funny movie, starring Renée Zellweger and a bunch of awesome actors. The story of everything By Michelle Morris 13/02/2025 These inanimate things I touch In memory of your existence I still keep them here in this box of bits Holding on in order to go on Here I sit again this year Writing a letter for your birthday The children and I miss you daily And this gives us a chance to celebrate your life There's this fear, you see, that they have The forgetting about you with time It's one of those things that happens Children, in particular, survive this way But there was this beautiful reminder That energy doesn't disappear It is transformed as are we It goes on as do we And there it is, exactly what the Universe intended The reminder of our divinity For no matter what happens when we die We live on in another form We live in hearts and minds We remain tethered to souls with love The thrumming of our collective threads Continues to weave the most beautiful stories The story of us The story of our love The story of our lives The story of everything And these inanimate things I touch Well, they can't change anything But the memories they hold will remain Unbroken, unfettered, undeterred Instead of moving on I will move through the pain Instead of moving on I will be present each day Learning to let go Learning to live again Learning to love again Learning that loss isn't permanent I'll see you again one day Where everything exists as light Where we are love and loved Our eternal energy is one © Michelle Morris, 2025
