A Poem For All Of Our Moms, and Dads

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all doing well, I am doing good. Through the past few years.
I have come across so many friends that have lost their parents. I know their
pain as I have experienced it myself. Today was sad for me and Pete, we had
a yard sale with most of his mother's belongings. When they did not sell at
the end of the day, we decided that we just could not keep them all. As we
put some of them all in a barrel to be dropped off at the dump and goodwill
our hearts were breaking, because it was like we were throwing her away in
some strange way. Even though we know she would have understood.
So tonight I wrote this poem in memory of her and my parents and
for all of my friends parents.
Thanks for visiting my blog,
Take Care
Janet :)

As I sit out on my deck,
The clouds make my hair
wet. Although I continue
to look above to the skies,
the rain does not keep me
from looking for your smiles

As the clouds weave
in and out of the stars,
I think you are so far,
yet in my heart you
will never leave.

You were both my first
loves, I wish I knew this
when I was young.
Until I grew and became
the same as you,
I did not realize, how
much parents influence
our lives.

Yet for all you gave
us, It was not in vain
I will pass on your
traditions, to all my
grandchildren.
Every time we laugh
or smile, you will be
with us all the while.
