Warm November (For my daughter)
Has it been six years
Since I last saw you?
Through heartaches and tears
I still remember you.
You were alive and so well
Laughing and joking, always funny
Since losing you, I've been through hell
I still cry for you today, honey.
My beautiful daughter, it was six years ago
This week, I saw you alive and so happy
Another warm November, much like now
How do I not grieve and be so unhappy?
November 1999 was warm too
And dry just like this week
I cannot help but to feel blue
Your precious smile is what I seek.
May your gentle heart rest in peace, my sweet beloved Tami. I will always carry you in my heart, love Mama.
