...to express how much I miss you.
I've lost count of the days since I began to miss you.
Was it yesterday or was it many yesterdays ago?
I remember the innocence of your wonderment
of the world around you, as you let go
of the strong hand that was hesitant in the fulfillment
of your excitement to explore, discover and touch
your world, your hopes, your aspirations and your dreams.
I remember the warmth of your soft touch
as you once again held my hand and smiled bright as a moonbeam.
I remember the music in my ears of your laughter.
Oh, how yesterday seems like a lifetime ago,
a lifetime of missing your splendor.
Today, I shall remember the blessing given me long ago,
when God bestowed upon me the blessings of you.
Tomorrow is yet another day to enjoy the memories
and be thankful for the times I shared with you.
Although yesterday is gone, I have today to create new memories
that I shall cherish and enjoy tomorrow.
Thank you for yesterday, today and tomorrow.
I shall cherish the memories forever and ever.
