Remembering Poem by Haley Patterson Westfall

Its just so hard for me
I was so young
I cant remember like everyone else
When I picture those days
all I can see is Your bright thick red hair
your big round glasses
and your wonderful little brown angel kisses

people say that I look so much like you
I say thank you but really
I cant see it
What am I missing
am I broken
this year makes it 11 years that you've been gone
I know that I was still a baby
but I just wish that i could be like everyone else
I want to have all the memories
not just glimpse here and there

I do love you with everything I have
You've just hurt me the most
I've suffered and pushed back all the pain
Its hard but I cry alone
I dont want people to see me
not like that
I dont take pity

I hope that i really have made you proud
I know that your looking down on us
I just wish that all this would of been different
and I wish I could rememeber
