I respect your tribute and honor captured in your poem.
I like the photo for a warm cup of any beverage surely creates the warm memories for the ancestral smiles that are never forgotten. I do appreciate you sharing your poem for this 3 line poetry contest entry.

This is a very nicely composed and wistful 5-7-7, DD. As long as they live on in our memory, they are still with us in spirit. We will meet up again one day. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn

Just beautiful.
Even when our loved ones
have gone, their essence
remains.
We can draw strength and
beauty from the wonderful
memories.
Lovely,
Blessings...

Nevermore but evermore might sum up this state of affairs that is almost bound to afflict all of us at some time or another. Perhaps it gives a lie to that Shakespearean quotation that:

'the evil that men do lives after them;
the good is oft interred with their bones.'

You have chosen the longer, 5-7-7, version here and it allows for the inclusion of that important memory, your smile.

    Thank you MissCookie. I appreciate your review and for sharing your personal thoughts with me. I am sure I look older because of the tears I have shed but I will try and dwell on the smiles of memories more now. ~DD

A very well-written three-line poem about the ones who goes to heaven before us, we only have our memories to bring warmth to our hearts and the loss we have to deal with.

There you are DD. I have missed you. A fine offering and entry for the three line poetry contest. The 5-7-7 syllable count is good and perfectly illustrated. My best to you and in the contest,

    Sal, Thank you for your welcomed review of my short poem and thoughtful words :-) I have been away - overseas. I only got back yesterday. I have been helping to pack up my mother's house. Since my father passed it has been difficult to write much, hence the big gaps in my reviewing and posting. I hope for things to change after my mother is settled in her new place. Thank you for thinking of me. ~DDxx

I enjoyed reading this three-line poem, the words took me to the people I love who have passed over into Heaven, even before reading your author's notes. The poem is so soft and sweet when recalling the memories of those who have gone, and with the memories, so the smiles begin. Well done, and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx
