REMEMBERING

Laura🌻

As I climb this steep hill...

I remember the time you held my hand

I remember the time you wiped my tears

I remember the time you carried me on your shoulders.

 

I Finally made it to the top of this hill...

What a view to behold

I see your beloved willow tree but

I don’t see you.

 

All I see is a big grey stone...

The wind is blowing in my ear

I hear your voice

It’s calling me.

 

It’s telling me you’re okay...

Everything is just fine 

Oh how I miss you my love

R.I.P. my beloved DAD!

          Many of us can relate to this beautiful piece - it made my eyes water. I seem to miss my Dad even more as I get older.

            Laura - I just found this one..... sitting waiting for a snowstorm today with not much to do.......... and it's beautiful. Odd too because my Dad had planted a willow tree at one of the homes we lived in when I was young...... it's still there a full grown and older tree now! Maybe we are ancestorily related!

            • Poetic Dan

              I think you are! And both Awesomely amazing!

            • Laura🌻

              There you go, Lorna!
              Maybe we are!! 😊

              Thank you for your
              visit and commenting!

              I hope the snowstorm
              won’t be too harsh for
              you! Take good care!
