My heart is bolder

since you went away

I’ve grown older

with each passing day

Lessons learned

feeling your love

understanding you more

a gift from above

The hands of time move

still visiting your patio

memories of your wisdom

continuing to grow

Long chats

with beer and coca cola

mist rising from the pool

visions of drawings from crayola

Hearing your voice

smells of steaks on the grill

watching you do a cannon ball in the pool

still a thrill

Running down the street

chasing a weather balloon

thunderstorm is coming

laughter fills the room

Looking forward to Heaven

seeing you again

grateful for a lifetime of memories

smiles and grins

A front row seat

on a patio next to the pool

with hummingbirds having aerial battles

attempting to be cool

Time passes slowly

till we meet again

rejoicing in memories of love

for the journey never ends
