Another anniversary
I always have trouble
In the months of nine and ten
Yet I fair better these days
Today I grieve
I grieve that which is lost
It's okay to grieve
Part of being human
I wish I could hold you
In my dreams I do
I wish I could hold
The little one too
At times I do
You may not understand that
And that's okay by me
But I think somewhere deep down
You do. Understand.
And that's okay too.
I must go to work today
I hope not to cry too much
My job is special to me
Holding the works of others' hands
Hands. You always had magic in yours.
Even the way you tied knots
I remember that
You strapping luggage on the top of that car
The old car parked in Circle Drive
In front of Emporia Hall
I think it was called Emporia Hall
And that's okay
It's okay that I recall
It's okay to miss it
It's okay to embrace it
You did a great job, by the way
Securing that luggage
Thank you for continuing to love me
