Sheila Kathryn Barrera Poet Free verse

When I Forget

When I forget,
my mind reaches
to you, to ask you
if you remember...
then I remember
you aren't there.

You went to Heaven
to be with the Father

We used to be
a two-pack,
one finishing up
what the other began.

Now I am left
holding your wrapper
not knowing 
what to do with it.

I want to wrap it around
my shoulders to keep me
warm inside and all around.

You went to Heaven
to be with the Father.

I remember you.
