FIVE YEARS By: Amy M. Kennedy -This poem is dedicated to my Mom, Linda Ann Kennedy who passed away in 1994. Mom, God bless you! I love you! Five years has gone by, time sure flies by Never for a minute did I think I'd have to say goodbye Through the last five years so much has changed People have, situations have, but my love for you has not You gave me my foundation, my very life as I know it I would be nothing without you Everyday I try to live my life as though you are still here I feel your presence wherever I go I can not see you or hear you But I can talk to you, and I know that you hear my voice When I see a falling star, thats you winking at me When I hear the wind that is you sighing When I look outside and see nothing but blue sky I know that you never left my side And while I know all of those things, still oh how I miss you I miss your smile, the warmth of your hand, your hugs I miss how you use to tell me "never give up" I just want to take the time to tell you two very important things I love you, and thank you Thank you for being my Mom, my best friend Thank you for showing me how good life can be But above all, thank You for showing me what true love is As I spread my wings and go out into the world I hope to accomplish many things, to be my best But the achievement I am most proud of Is being your daughter No matter where life takes me, no matter where I go I will never forget you or the love you showed me Ten years of sweet bliss, memories of the past Forever wrapped in our hearts One day, I too shall leave this Earth And reunite with you in heaven Until then I shall live as though you are still right here For I know you watch my every move, and are with me everyday Not physically, but in spirit, and for now that's enough for me Five years...how the time has flown Full of ups and downs, and all the things in between But one thing remains consistent and will forever My love for you ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |
