I don’t know what an angel looks like
I don’t even know if they have wings
But I know when I need a reminder
Something wraps around me and sings
...
I used to lie next to you on the sofa and watch those 60’s shows
With not a thought as to whether or not I was too old
It was so comforting to lie next to you, my head on your growling stomach
We loved Petticoat Junction, The King Family, Ed Sullivan
...
We miss your face
Your cute little lip
The sweetest piggy
No squirmy, no nip
...
The simple act of folding towels
You even pressed the iron on them
...
You told me about the day I was born
You made me feel special
...
Plaid wool skirt and a Pandora sweater
I begged to get my ears pierced and you said “Let her”
Sitting at the kitchen table, it was comforting, you cooked
I never learned your culinary ways, I should have looked
...
The love you left behind
I hold it deep inside me
Your face so trusting and kind
I still feel your softness with me
...
An angel tapped me on the shoulder
And said it’s going to be all right
Nothing is ever lost in this universe
But only moves on into a different life
...
