i thought of you today
the way that you listen
the gentle way that you care
the moments of stillness
and the quiet blissful assurance
knowing that you are there
memories of you linger
yesterday and yesteryear
are all priceless memories
you holding my hand
you whispering in my ear
and you wiping away my tears
the endless conversations
the laughing out loud and
the tucking me in every single night
greeting me each morning
bringing a smile to my face
ordering my steps in advance
guiding and protecting
keeping my enemies at bay
ahhh...grateful humble me
i thought of you today
the way that you listen
and the gentle way that you care
the moments of stillness
and the quiet blissful assurance
knowing that you are there
