Remembering Cindy

I’ve sat here for hours not knowing what to say
Fingers just gracing the keyboard, lost in a way

Lost in a sea of mournful words, I’m quickly losing sight
Sadness, despair, loss and heartache - something doesn’t feel right.

In this dark sea is not where Cindy lies
It’s then I look up and see the bright blue skies

And there she is smiling bright
Her smile, laughter and heart giving me light

Out of the dark sea, up where I belong
With all the good memories leading me along

I see flashes of bright pictures in my mind
Allison and me in frilly dresses, you know the kind

Easter egg hunts and frightful Halloweens
Hot summer days and the smell of sunscreen

Thanksgiving dinners and New Years balloons
Late night barbeques and giant full moons

All these great memories I’ll hold for life
An inspiration, a Mom a forever burning light

Thank you Cindy, for showing me the way
With these bright memories, I’ll know what to say
