Patricia Contreras Poet Rhyme

I Miss You

I walk among the willow trees
Gently swaying in the breeze 
Reflection touches my mind my sole
Memories of a woman once whole
Before abusing medication and alcohol
Precious Sister allowing them to take control
Before life's trials took her away
I Remember she smiles in a special way
The light that twinkled in her eyes
The joy from comforting her baby's cries
Her spirit shines through her good deeds
Always catering to others needs
Further down the trail I here water splash
Memories of water fights I can see her dash
Laughing, running with bucket in hand
Back then she thought life was grand
The pills began to help her pain subside
Then came the drinking she tried to hide
A flash of good times return to my mind
Then sorrow and tears she's left behind
Solace in knowing this is not the end
Someday we'll see our dear sister and friend
