PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My mind is ever racing

a thousand heartaches on a string

just wish I had a moment

to hear their voices ring.



I miss their carefree laughter

and the precious kool-aid smiles;

their whimsical ever afters

and tireless stairstep miles.



The way they find the best of times

in things we've tossed aside;

new life for rags forgotten,

new joys to claim and hide.



Those just-too-perfect sayings

that they magically create,

when nothing else can ease the pain

that life demands by fate.



Oh, I'd gladly trade a day of breath

for just a single glance;

to share a laugh and three foot hugs

and have a second chance.



To dream a little, smile a lot

and make a memory new;

and tell five little tumbly bears

that Daddy, sure loves you!
