I remember
the words she told me
"Goodnight sweetheart,"
how she smiled down at me
"I love you baby. Go to sleep."
I remember
the voices I heard
late at night
waking me from my sleep
startling me, fighting continues on
I remember
all the things we done together
laundry, dinner, and shopping
chit chats before bed
telling one another stories
I remember
all the pain he put you through
the way he put his hands on you
the yelling and the screaming
the police at our front door
I remember
your beautiful face
your sense of humor
your big brown eyes looking over at me
the day you left this world
I remember
the way I felt
the tears I've cried
all the good and bad memories we've had
how I used to be able to touch you
I will always remember
you getting ready for work at night
you laughing on the phone every morning
you doing chores around the house
and how you always loved your children all the same!!!
