A Years Gone Bye
waking up to the sun light on my face
then feeling the wormth replace the cold night from before
opening my eyes to shadows that crowd my floor
my tired eyes follow a shadow across my bedroom floor
to a picture that makes me think of the year before
so many emotions come together, so many memories ill treaser forever
i gaze at the picture for a moment or two
its amazing how a quote can capture you,
theres so many different points of view
live every moment, love everyday, cherish every memory are what those words say
i close my eyes and think of the year that's just gone bye
the time ticks away so fast , perfect moments dont not last
starting to feel the pain of when i first found out my great grandad had past
i wish i told him i loved him everyday
regret starts to get in the way.
But i do live every moment cherishing every memory we made.
I open my eyes again, repeat those words in my head live, love, cherish
i also gave birth to my second girl in this past year
my little family blessed again, i look back up at those words
and now i feel something different
she helps me live every moment, because of her and her sister i love every day
and as im watching my girls grow up so fast i cherish every memory they bring my way!
so i take one last look at that quote and i take note of the mixed emotions it brings
it make me feel happy and sad, like i've missed out and that im glad.
the overall outcome....
it always points back to those that i love!
