I Miss You

I miss you

Three of the simplest words to say

An arduous task to tally the reasons

A listing so long with a myriad of memories

Memorized photo that pops into view

Captured images of your gentle beauty

Painted portrait that dwells in my mind

Home's meaning graced by nostalgia

I miss you

Now absent hugs so warm and loving

Savored scent of a mother's comfort

Sweet bouquet of a tender embrace

Wrapped in the aroma of love unconstrained

I miss you

Gift of history a treasured legacy

Place of belonging breeds familiar

Ribboned heartstrings tied to the past

Promised a future bathed in love

I miss you

Sage advice tossed foolishly aside

Coveted today with each new struggle

Shared giggles through life's traveled path

Glint of pride that sparkled in your eyes

I miss you

Faith illuminated as a guiding star

Blissful passing through wisdom's waters

Garnered youth's moral foundation

A chance to dream, the strength to aspire

I miss you

Three of the simplest words to say

Eternal gratitude and love heaven sent

With infinite thoughts to define

One indescribable word
