Remembrance--By Maurice J. Reynolds--United States

Remembrance

A silent whisper of
"I love you" revisited
my mind this holiday
season, just as it has 
in times past.  Memories
filter through the present 
as if they were here today, 
occupying a place in my heart
where the little boy absolutely
adored his dad, but times have 
changed, dad is now resting 
with the Heavenly Father, 
and the little boy is now a man,
yet the heart stays the same,
connecting with the mind to
keep afresh what he meant
to me, and to softly echo,
"I love you and miss you."
