Notes About The Poem

I Miss You

I miss you at the start of every day
I miss you when the stars come out to play
I miss you in the languid afternoon
I miss you in the blazing heat of noon

I miss you in my dreamless midnight hour
I miss you when I'm sad and life is dour
I miss you when I'm happy and at rest
I miss you when I think of all that's best

I miss you, dear, I miss those sparkling eyes
I miss that giggle and your girlish wiles
I miss your curly locks of jet black hue
I miss the dimpled beauty that is you

I miss you, girl, no one can heal this ache
If I don't see you soon, my heart will break
So come on home; have pity on my soul
It's only when you're near that Mama's whole.

Barbara Barry-Nishanian Date: 6/8/2018 1:04:00 PM This poem really is about your daughter you said in a reply to a comment. That ache is such an internal agony. Only now can we as Mom's understand this, frame it for her to remember when she is a mom . Build beautiful memories when see her. Login to Reply
