Remembering
Salty tears roll down my cheeks
But I don’t wipe them away.
Remembering.
Many nights I’ve lain awake
Remembering.
I let music sweep me away
To another place
Remembering.
I still see your smile
And long for your arms around me
Remembering.
I watch a mother and daughter pair
Shopping together
Remembering.
It used to be you and I
Inseparable.
Remembering.
Your voice used to sing
In melody with mine
Remembering.
Your hand, so gentle
Yet filled with strength
Remembering
Crying in your arms
Fear gripping my heart
Remembering
Your smile so brilliant
Remembering.
The concern on your face
When I would fall down as a child
Remembering.
The sweet smell of your embrace.
Remembering.
Clothed in wisdom and guidance
You spoke.
Remembering.
But then, lying there helpless
Thin and hairless
Remembering.
Courage shown through
In your beautiful eyes
Remembering.
Crying out to God
In the middle of a field
Remembering.
I wanted so desperately for him to save you
Remembering.
Family game nights and movie nights
You always made everything so fun.
Remembering.
Our hearts almost felt as one.
Remembering.
Saying goodbye to you
That sunny November day
Remembering.
I held my crying sister
As they drove your earthly body away.
Remembering.
The deepest sorrow
Gripped my heart
Remembering.
But peace and hope
And a little glimmer of light
Remembering.
You are still gone
So I’m caught here
Remembering.
