AUGUST 27, 1997

I can’t believe how much time has passed
since we sat together, our hands clasped.

The years have gone from one to another
12 years later and I still miss my mother.

It hasn’t been an easy ride
from the moment I learned that you had died.

I sometimes forget that you have gone away
and I try to call you to share our day.

No more can you answer the telephone ring
but I do look to the sky and tell you things.

I miss you so much, and I’m glad you’re with dad
but even in the comfort of that it still leaves me sad.

Sometimes I feel so all alone
Daddy and you were my heart, my home.

I know I’m old now and should get over it
but sometimes inside I still feel like a little kid.

Twelve years have gone by and 12 more will too
its just hard to imagine and know what to do.

I’ll get by, as I always do
still missing and loving daddy and you.

Rest in peace mom, rest in peace.

Until next time.
