That you left me with a ghost in my memories.
It’s a while since I heard your crusty voice,
Your daring love and solid spirit beside me.
As I remember the bliss in your voice at my successes,
And your heartfelt love at the times I did not.
Your special day comes around each year – I forget.
But your spirit unfailingly appears to my mind,
Marking my path with encouragement,
To meet my deepest desires,
To make them all so real.
You look about to see my many achievements,
Your time grows short –
You glance over your shoulder with a radiant smile,
As you walk away from me
Trusting that I have done you proud.
Intruding the sun breaks through my window,
And I awake to silent tears shed on my pillow,
With an ache in my heart from missing you,
And a fire in my soul to be better.
