There is a picture
Set plastered within an album old as the day is told
You there
Upon a chair moving to and fro
Holding a babe but 3 months old
A smile on your face for a camera
Now the picture lies faded
Yellow corners and brown indentations
You looked happy once
Rocking on that chair
With that hat of yours I’ll never forget
There was love once
Distance
Yet you were missed every day, every minute
You traveled the US
Whether truck or spaceship, you were my hero
Home never seemed the same
When you left for travels
Or came home with simple treasures
I wish I had the chance to know you
And who you were to creating me
I don’t get this spunk from anywhere
Just the stars and moon I see upon me each night
Looking over
Watching
This is my speaking to you.
May the night be blissful and full of forgiveness.
I wish you the absolute most beautiful life.
