For my dad who went to Heaven on May 24, 2011 – I wrote this on the first anniversary of his passing.
You are remembered- When those randomthoughts trickle down
the back of my mind. When I hear that song
you loved on the radio –
all it takes is the first
few notes and I see
your crooked smile. When I think of her –
especially in your arms,
together and smiling.
She is in my heart every
day, and so are you. No monuments, no lavish
words – just the dreams that give me new memories, and the remnants of you in my own imperfect smile.
