Extra Credit Poem
Extra Credit Poem
Though I wish you were here with me
I know you must be
Up high with thee
And
Though I know you’re looking down on me
I keep asking why must this be
And
Though I missed to see the last smile
I know your love will always be
With me
And that you are now smiling down on me
(This is a poem that I started writing for my Mom who passed way before I got to say good bye, but I know is now in a better place)
