I wish mom & dad were still alive...

Mom & dad back in early 80s...approx...


Poem Artwork

 

As I got older mom and I,

Never seemed to see eye to eye,

Though in his last 7 years,

Dad and I together had many a good cry…

 

I’d like to know from them,

Now that I am older,

If they approve of my choices,

Just to with them sit down,

Mom & dad do you go along with where I am bound…

 

Instead of sitting here with tears,

And tryng to deal alone with my fears,

I wish to converse with them one more time,

To tell them I love them in more than just this, my rhyme…

Ed,

They're with you. In everything you do and say, they're with you. I miss my parents too.

They are with you, Ed
all the time, just say
it "I love you both",
and feel the smile coming
from the sky.

Well Ed, guess what... they have never left your side...
even though you personally cannot see them their love never
dies for you... you are their son whom they live disagreements
choices, or not. Tell them you love them, they hear you...

Hugs

Loving parents you have in your heart. Memories to cherish.
Tell them each day in prayer.

Ed,

I can't tell you how many times I've wished I had one more day with my parents, especially my Mama. Mama died at 39 yrs old leaving eight kids behind. She was hit by a car crossing the road. We never had a chance to say goodbye. Daddy died years later. Its hard when you don't have your parents. I also wonder if Mama and Daddy would be proud of me now. If they are looking down and watching over their children. I UNDERSTAND your feeling's , Ed.

Many blessings,
+Linda

I have never known what it is like to have parents to turn to - but as I get older, I am grateful that I cannot miss them as much as those like you do.
