I Miss

I miss the way you would comfort me When I was just a child I miss the way you scolded me When I was young and wild. I miss the days you would tell me That everything would be alright I miss the way you worried for me When I was no longer in your sight. I miss the days we would share together But those days I know I took I miss the days when I did something wrong And you gave me that special look. I miss your love and compassion God’s gift He gave to you For no matter what would happen in life You would always pull right through. You kept our family together You were there through thick or thin You would fight the toughest battles And you would always seem to win. I love you Mom with all my heart So, I thought that I would say All these things we've shared together We will share again some day. Roger Horsch

Hi Roger! I am sure your mum would never close the door on you! Make the best of her while she is around; there are things that I wish I had told mine, but never found the right time or the right words to do so...then it was too late. congrats on a worthy win. // paul
