Today I thought of you
Voice soft, as hands held on
To the space which was
Once you.
Unyielding in my memory
I think of the times
You kissed me goodnight
Uncounted but not forgotten.
Life continues on
Even when it stops.
Yet when I think
Of all our moments,
Time slows down
And I can be with you
Now in way I never could
When you were here.
No longer constrained
By the limitations
Of time and space
I linger in your memory
Living so lively within
The next generation.
