I still see you sitting on the front porch
sit you'd say
in your typical way...
With nothing to say
I'd walk away
No time for mindless chatter today....

Gotta go
Gotta play

cant stay
not okay
Deep regret
haunts me today
Id give anything
to hear you say


just one more day....

Sit and stay.

Even when we are much much older
and lose our parents at a later
stage in life, there is always the
wonder..."did I give back as much
as s/he gave me?"

I'm going to enjoy your contributions,
Denise.

Yes, we miss the jewels of life so often, and thinking back is painful at times. Nice work.

I too, have had thoughts and feelings such as yours. You captured them perfectly. We have our memories to keep us warm ~ if only we had taken the time to make more...

Giving you a warm, compassionate hug,
EA
