Goodbye

I see your smile as I close my eyes
you're in the warmth of my family around me
I find you in the things you once enjoyed
and the memories I hold so dearly

I once shed tears of regret
but now I will shed tears of happiness
as I laugh with my brother and dad
rolling through the mountainous new Hampshire roads
and walking through the Vermont streets with family.
while you are gone
you left a legacy of giggles and happy moments
I'll see your smile as I laugh with cousins
and bond with my aunts.
while you may not be here
and oh I will miss you so deeply and dearly
I thank you for everything you have done for me
and everyone around me
you gave me a loving family to call home
to give me peace of mind
and know I'm not alone.
