Dad and Mom Are Gone

Dad and Mom are gone

Written By Dean Masciarelli

Wednesday, November 25, 2009


Dad and Mom are gone

Because they had 
earned their wings
to go to Heaven

And after all this time 

Many years have 
come and gone

And I am still trying 

To deal with everything

Because they were the 
greatest human beings

That I had ever known

And I have never
felt so loved

By anyone 

Like I was 
loved by them

Because their love 
was 
the unconditional kind

And that’s why 

I loved them

So much in return 

I just wish that I could 
have spent
more time with them

Because I really have 
missed both of them 
since they have been gone

The feeling is mutual, Dean. My parents are both gone home also. Even though it has been many years, I still cry for them and some may say I'm weird, but I talk to them! Peace and love, Audrey. P.S. Thanks for the comments!
