My Angels Poem by mary catherine

I wrote this poem
For my Mom and Dad
It's been along time
Since i held their hands
They each died, in my arms you see
Their last dying breathe, i did see
a day and a half apart
It Damn sure did
Break my heart
Alone in that house
I was dying inside
But i never let anyone, see my cry
I held that in, deep down inside
I still have the scars
But there easier to hide
I still sit down and cry sometimes
I miss them so, it aches inside
God broke something inside me
Both those days
To teach me a lesson
To make me brave
I miss them both, each and everyday
But i know there with me
every step of the way
They taught me everything i know
To stand tall, be proud, Never give in, Dont let go
I hear them inside my heart you see
Guiding me, Steering me, Lighting my way
So i listen ever so closely now
To the whispers, the wind
And i know somehow
That they're still there
Watching over me
Standing tall, keeping watch
Their my angels, you see

Dedicated to: Bonnie and Don Rich 'i miss you so much'
