May 25th

I remember you
You who walked by my side
Through my giggles and sprints
The chaos of small feet 
Yet you always stayed

I remember you
You who told me off when needed
A care my small mind didn't comprehend 
Your heart did wonders within my own

I remember you
The white in a sea of shadows
Shadows that whispered little pains 
All to show me the fool they thought me to be

I remember you
A child just like I was
But your presence, large
A guardian and a friend

Though time has made otherwise
Our journeys no longer in the same room
The echo of little heartbeats unheard of
It stayed with me, engraved, 
Your sunlight, the jar of stars and the smile
Always and forever
Thank you
