Ode to a Lost Love One
Mom I never knew you
I wish I could travel back in time
So I wouldn't be so blue
I can't remember what you said at nighttime
I know it was Gods choice
He needed you for something bigger
He knew I would be okay without you
I know you are in the sky above
I don't know the sound of your voice
Did we play peekaboo
I think about you constantly
Dad doesn't talk about you much
And one day it just hit me
You were really gone
I wish I could feel your touch
I wish we could go shopping
Did you and dad kiss me good night?
Did you wake up at dawn?
Will we reunite?
Did I get my talents from you mom?
I wish I knew more about you
Like were you smart?
What was your favorite hairstyle?
Did you like art?
Were you good at math?
Could you sing?
Did you stand in the rain?
Did you love reading?
Did you love spring?
Were you a good actress?
I have dads eyes
Dad says my group of friends is just like yours were
Dad said I got your attitude
I got your temper
And some people say they see a little of you in me
I will always remember that you love me
And that we will be together again someday
