I Felt Like

I felt like I was seven years old, when you came into my life. That Saturday many years go, was a bright and sunny day. You were my Easter gift, a magical gift from the boys. Each day we would wear makeup, oh how you loved your pink blusher upon your cheeks. At night we brushed our teeth, you then~me and off to bed we would go. I felt like the years, were passing way too fast. Another year would come, with a cupcake holding one burning candle for you. The many car rides with music blasting, going shopping along our busy way. I felt like I was going to die, the day heaven came and took you far away. Date Written:2/3/2023 2 Place

You were my Easter gift… oh how you loved your pink blusher upon your cheeks…the cupcake, music blasting, shopping and the feeling of dying the day your loved one flew away to heaven…my hand over my heart. <3
