Pictures scroll by in a film loop,
pages of my past-
a song that fits the mood,
times didn't last.

Yes, days went by fast,
my baby got wings-
I sure do miss it,
the way she sings.

What am I supposed to do
without her here
to make me laugh,
to dry each tear?

It's not the same
since she said goodbye,
we don't have us to make us laugh...
laugh so we don't cry.

There will come a day
when she'll return
and you'll marvel
in her smiles...

thank you Dixie.  It's a
tender mama-poem...

Dear Dixie, enjoyed the read my friend, the years do go by much too quickly for us all, the babies grow and go their way, to visit on each special day. A little sad, but life does seem sad some days, smile and I'll smile with you, cry and we all cry together. Take care my friend and be well.

Sincerely
Rick

You are both beautiful.

I am my mother's baby and when I came back, we became better friends.  I will always be her baby (which she reminds me at every opportunity), but now our relationship is even richer than when I was at home with her.
