Voices from The Past
As I lay here and cannot sleep I hear voices and see pictures from so long ago
And missing you wasn’t heard of yet and I could come to you with eyes aglow
I remember what you sounded like, but it's been so long I hope it will last
Yet your wisdom and love are in my heart with those voices from the past
I will cherish the time you gave to us and know your love was always pure
We were never rich but had enough of that you made abundantly sure
Many times, you said to us that when you were gone we’d have each other
My siblings and I are the lucky ones to be born to you both and not another
I know up there you are waiting for us all the while you’re having a blast
It makes me smile to know you’re in no pain and can hear your voices from the past
One day when I too leave this world I won't have to recall those things anymore
Because I will be with you walking hand in hand passing right thru heaven’s door
I want to have more than these memories and pictures that are fading too fast
It will be grand to see your smiling faces instead of voices from the past
Miss you mom and dad!!!!
