Still Miss You

Today I heard your voice echoing in my laughter You brushed pass me for I felt your familiarity I sense you watching over me, peeping through my tears, And you still stand victorious when I win. I envision you in the corner of my life Arms crossed, head reared back with that critical stance I have grown about the same age that you were then You would be proud, your lessons and warnings paid off For you see, I was paying attention. I keep you close in my memories and I tell your tales The children you never met know you well. We speak your name and we sing your songs. You are my strength; you are my legend. I miss you Mom.
