I think back across the ether of time
measured in long ago faded years.
I think of Mom and Dad
and my older sister.
What I miss about
them is their hands.

Hold my hand
as we cross the road said Mom.
Ride your two wheeler
I will hold the seat
with my hand said dad.
Your hairs a mess let me
give you a hand said my sister.

They are all gone now
Just a bunch of sweet
memories in my heart.
Sometimes though
they come back
in dreams.
they are all kinds of ages.
Just to pay me visit
from way back.

I try to remember
they are gone now and
only here in my dreams.
But they are mostly so young
I forget that.
And I think
they are still here.
So much so I forget
to say goodbye
and I love you guys.

Sometimes when I wake up
alone in my bed
after the dream has faded.
I feel a tear falling
the moment of loss
is as fresh as the
morning it happened.

I then say to them softly
I love you guys so much.
When its my time to
join you all in heaven.
Mom please hold my hand
as I cross over.
Dad make sure
I learn how to fly
with my new wings
hold me with your hands
so I dont fall.
And Sis give me a hand to
learn the ropes up there.
