Grief I

 Years ago

We’d play with stuffed animals

Pretending they were alive

Years ago

We’d go to Christmas Tree Shop

And watch Harry Potter

Years ago

You’d teach me how to be a good person

And respect others

Years ago

We’d go to the Derry park

And you’d watch me play for hours

Years ago

You’d pick me up from school

Sing happy birthday to me

Go to my soccer games

But that was years ago

Then you got sick

But you’re in a better place now

And I am stuck here

Wishing I could go back

Years ago
