I Miss You So

I Miss You So... There are those days when I don't want to get out of bed, Having just the memories, of life we once enjoyed, dance around in my head. Oh mom, dad, I miss you so, And although it been years, the pain won't go. I think about the great times we shared. I think how you loved and guided me, when no one else cared. I think about all the time, and energy, That it took, for you, to let me, be me. I would not be this woman who stands so strong, Had you not taught me, right from wrong. Had your hands not guided me, I swear, I don't know, where I'd be. Your wise words word not spoken in vain, For when I speak with my daughter, My words are the same. I thank you, for all the love you gave to me, How much you loved me... I now, can see. Not a day goes by, That you, don't cross my mind, Good parents like you two, Are hard to find! Mom and Dad, I miss you so, But God called your names and you had to go! Why he picked those dates, I do not know. But, I understand, because Earth treasures, fail in comparison... to God's promised land! 2/16/17 for Benita Mays
