Kisses In the Wind In Memory of You

kisses in the wind in memory of you
flowers flowing freely to keep me from feeling blue

you are never ever too far from my mind
in all that i do and even as i unwind

when all is really bad and things are not going my way
i think of your impact on me and all better is my day

i cannot express in words for me all you have done
with the exception of God, you were and are still my number one

when you fully lost your battle, i became lost and confused
when i began to move forward, i utilized the coping techniques you used

now i take everyday to reflect on events that made me grow
you were only trying to push me to do better, and now i truly know

i hope that you have forgiven me for causing unneeded weights of stress 
so many times you saved my sorry behind and cleaned up many a mess

i only wanted you to see that i was grown and an independent soul,
but all i displayed was the never-growing kid, and to you it got very old

how i wish we could have rekindled the unconditional love of what once was
i regret that we did not spend more time together simply just because

you were right when you once told me that my decisions were my choice alone
as a result, my life has unfortunate lingering memories of your disappointed tone

now all i can do is express my love with a now solo tradition
please accept these flowers on your grave....they are sincerely the latest edition....
