Think and Remember
I wish I could rewind time to see your smile one more time.
To hear the laughter that came so easily with a warm smile.
The warmth of a protective hand on my shoulder.
To hear the warmth of your voice shooing away a child's troubled fears.
Is it wishful thinking that I hear your voice on a stray breeze?
The warmth of your hand upon my shoulder when I grow to troubled?
A man larger then life
A man who filled so many broken hearts with hope and love once more.
Could death truly take you away from us so fully.
Never to see or feel your touching presence once more.
A cynical mind would say yes.
How could such a thing be?
Yet I know each spring your there.
Nurturing and renewing hope as always within me.
Keeping me warm and safe in winters harshest of storms.
A guiding hand on my shoulder and steering when the road grows to long.
Death may have taken you from us.
Yet not even death can keep us from you.
I know all I have to do is close my eyes to see you once more.
Think back and remember to hear your laughter.
All I have to do is think and remember..
