I see you everywhere
in everything I do
Your repeated words echo
Your truth showing through
I miss your gentle laughter
your tender, worn old smile
I never imagined after,
without you for a while.
I see your favorite color
Your cherished foods to eat
Your convictions that you held
The places we would meet
I miss you from my core
Something has been taken
A part of me feels alone
Set apart and forsaken
Nana, I love you
I hope I told you this
I hope you know how much
I treasured your love and kiss
I hope you always knew how much
you calmed me and impelled
Your point of view in mind and heart
Hope your honor I upheld.
Are you proud of me?
Do I make you smile?
Does God see?
How I live this trial?
Today I looked into the glass
a gaze was reaching back
I saw you in that looking glass
and had my Nana back....
I saw your eyes as clear as day
Your soft, comforting stare
It caused me pause within my day
You were again right here.
Cut from the same cloth
Friends my whole lifelong
I realize now you have not left
You are with me all along |
Submission Name: My Nana's Eyes
