Remembering

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.
