I thought of you today






I thought of you today.
The crisp sound of your laughter,
they linger -
it was as if you never really left.

I thought of you today
and all those could have been's.
I could still see your face -
although frail, I knew you gave me your best.

I thought of you today.
Those times when you would
tell me, how hard headed I can be.
But you still loved and accepted me.

I thought of you today.
How in my everyday life the past year,
I would see you in your bed -
and you would lovingly look back at me.

I thought of you today.
And I grew very sad -
not knowing how to take life on,
without you in there anymore.

I thought of you today.
And I am grateful, too.
I knew you lived a great life -
thank you for loving me.

I miss you, Lo.
