Engraved Memory

Since you left my vision I’ve missed you every day There’s so much left undone and so much I want to say You hugged me tight with your eyes, your heart, and your velvety fur You had a presence that could lure Any soul in your radar Your energy so strong and pure Hush the stars above You’re a vision of A park with glaring sun and the crystal snowdrop close up Of a soaring dove Although you did not leave a dynasty For the world to love You left an engraved memory That time could not briskly smudge Everything you taught me Will lead me far in life Although you’re no longer in my vision to see I still feel your presence here Surrounding me When I look towards the stars past The clouds up high I know the stars will hush for you right now The reason they do Is so you can come through To shine down your hope and love Right into my soul A heart once turned as black as coal Has now turned pink and lean For the love you send down to me Is pure and pristine I know I’ll see you again someday So I shall wait for you Patiently in my dreams.
