Poem: I remembered

Yesterday I remembered you were gone,

The sadness squeezed such tears from me.

I cried out my hurt and fear of this life,

And I wished for you back by my side

Oh to remember the times that we had,

The years filled with laughter and joy.

The times we both cried when life let us down,

The love that we shared pulled us through.

Then there’s the smiles and love that you gave,

Spinning me round but not letting me fall,

These made me fall in the most basic way,

Your strong arms kept me close to your heart.

Today I remember how you were here,

And the memory makes me smile once again.

I wish you were here and not gone away,

But the memories you left will live on.
