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.
