As I Walk Around
As I walk around our house
it is now so quiet
as a mouse.
As I walk into your bed room
I can still hear you mommy
singing a hymen or two,
or just being surprised
of all the blankets on your bed
that cover you.
As I step into your shoes
they do not seem to fit me
like they did you.
while I hear the tune from the
Price Right show on Tv,
or if it 4 o'clock it's time
to watch Doctor Phil,,,
these were just a few things
in your daily life that seem to
give you a thrill.
As I walk into our bathroom
I see your depends you wore
they are still stacked up
on the floor
ready for you to use once more.
all that medicine you took
and your doctor appointments
written in a book.
are all still just laying there
all I can do is sit and stare.
As I walk in the kitchen
your little table sits there
and your walker stands bare.
As I walk in the living room
your rocking chair
that once creaked as you
rocked back and forth .
This is just some of the things
I will miss about you mommy
wow, now what do I do,
with out you?
As I walk out on the porch
I can still see you and Aunt Tean
and Uncle Harley chatting
while many pictures of you all
I take.
As I look over in betty jean yard
I see her black eyed Susan flowers
you dearly loved have died off
for the winter.
but when they was in bloom
you would go over and stand
and take a picture
Mom you seem to love
living and raising your family
on this land.
As I walk around I am surprised
how fast my life has went after
11 years ago I moved here.
I feel running down my face
a few tears,
Because I am trying to over come
being with out you
with out fear.!
As I walk around our house.
