In Memory of Charlene

Your essence whizes by me
when there is a soft summer breeze
that gently glides my way.
All I have left to rely upon
is the memory of you
that I have to work so hard
at keeping warm and gentle,
sometimes not so hard.
I see the oak,
firm and strong
and I think of you.
I see the softness in
a child's smile
and I think of you.
You have profoundly
altered my life;
like the shooting of JFK
and Martin Luther King
rocked the nation,
your love rocked my world;
changed my existence.
Changed the route I was taking;
allowed me to travel through to the other side of the looking glass.
I miss you so much
sometimes today that
I find myself gasping for air.
Some days it feels like the
hole in my chest is as big
as the Grand Canyon and
its got your name on it.
I miss our time together.
I miss making memories with
you, laughing and crying with you.
I miss you more than the childhood
I never had.
I do terribly miss you!!!!
