Top Of My Head

Eight years gone

mom

I think of you every day
see your smile and your beautiful face

I can hear your voice say Jem--

just like it was yesterday but

Eight years have passed

and now I have a little girl who you would have loved so much

and when she turns her head just the right way, I can see you in her

and it makes me smile . . .


I miss u mom . . .
