There is a deep sadness that comes over me,
When I think of two special people in my life.
My mother passed away almost seventeen years ago,
My father left this world almost one year ago.
I loved both my parents in my special way.
I still think about them and miss them today.
It is always sad to say a last and final goodbye,
When they leave this world, their souls fly.
It was my mother who taught me so much,
About the family and the value of the home.
It was my father who taught me about writing,
About life, art, movies, religion, and appreciation.
My two best friends left me to go away,
I know that we will all meet again one day.
I am happy knowing that they sail through eternity,
Their souls are together, as they walk free.
