Memories flood our eyes
The heart doesn’t play nice
Stories pour out today
Just the same as every day
Of this tiny being, who
Brought moments, a slew
The distance now exists,
The bond, however persists.
Not a day goes by
in recollection, we don’t sigh
Days into months and years
We await, holding back tears
The yearning still lingers
Refusing to ever wither
Our arms ache to hold
And, his joy to behold
