I See Your Smile Poem by Mark Heathcote

I see your smile
But your ashes are in the cabinet
And I couldn't feel anymore bluer
Then if I were a candle giving up the fight
Remembering how I loved you
How you love me too, through and through

I see your smile
In every teardrop, eyes green with hints of crystal blue
Was it the angel's that sent and took you back
There are no answers for my sadness
Now I haven't your kiss on my cheek
Now, my daughter, I don't have you.

Now I don't hear your giggles and laughter in the street
Now I don't hold your hand
And know you were always my strength.
Each day now is a silent ripple, echo
Where I recall remembering your face, your smile
Oh, how I wish you could have stayed a while longer.

My darling sweet daughter
I see your smile
It's like a glinting gold sundial
That use to love playing piggyback
But now with you my daughter, it's got my back.
Till I, can, no longer bear the tether the leash on my soul.
Any more you're missing smile on-my-side in truth, soon.
