Needing Her


You'd wrap your lip under your teeth

Blush to melt the world

Faintly smile and stare through

The soul of your baby girl

 

Your eyes would light ablaze

When your vinyl played at last

Dimples perfectly molded

Face perfectly cast

 

Crinkles by your eyes

And the brightest smile I knew

Always laughing while

Praying to pull through

 

Do you remember me crying by your side

or us dancing to no music at all?

 

I'll always miss those days we shared

As you help God make the rain fall
