Family Ties Poem by Audrey Heller

In the shadows of my mind,
you're near to me, not far,
for you have always been
closer, than you actually are!
In the corner of my eyes, I
see your look, so tenderly.
When I stare into space,
there you are, staring back
at me. In the shadows of my
mind, there's a place, only
you can fill and never, go
away. In the corners of my
eyes, they're showing how
much, I wanted you, to stay.
Now, if you take the shadows
of my mind, with the corners
of my eyes, how can you not
notice, I still have, family ties!
