You Are Always With Me
I picked up your ashes
Three months after cremation
I felt I had bottled emotions
Time would help verbal summation
Yet silence is what I find
No words escape my lips
Thoughts of your meandering
Unbeknownst except for tips
Your work you credited
All your time and space
Arriving home so late
Booze on breath and red face
I overlooked so much
I never said a word
Just glad you made it home
Uninjured and unhurt
I loved you
I hope you knew
Took care of you
The best I could do
I feel a whole
Deep within my heart
A void filled by you
Right from the start
Sometimes I feel you
Watching over me
But to hold you again
Is what I need
The birds call for you
The dogs look too
The cats wait on the bed
But all are well fed
I keep your ashes with me
And everywhere I go
Your in an airtight gray box
Co captain as we go
It's funny the quiet moments
And music we now enjoy
Is all I ever wanted love
But your program would not deploy
So for now we spend this time
Exactly how I wished
You are always with me
Peaceful loving how I embellished.
