I Miss You

I Miss You"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Now, it's no secret, we have had our differences in the past
But because of your position in my heart, your memory will always and forever last
I can see you in Breezy's eyes, I can feel you through Roc's passion
And if you ever needed me, my help would reach you through every fashion
Some girls came, and some girls went, but the purest Love is all I have for you
Many times since this past March, I would sit as the tears start flowing through
Not tears of sorrow, just tears rejoicing the Earthly Life you had
You're one of the strongest people I know, successfully raising two kids without the dad
Rarely would you show your pain, I guess you didn't want us to feel the hurt
I'm so happy your struggle ends even though it saddens me to see you on a shirt
I miss you so very much, but, to me, you can never die
For more than 44 years, I have Loved you, the entire world knows that's no lie

Rest in Peace my dear sister, Priscilla Ann Boddie (11-04-1963 to 03-02-2019)
