Poem Paper Snowballs© By Commie Hughes

Paper Snow Balls©

I stand watching you from a distance hoping you won’t find me near

The sight of you takes my breath away and fills my eyes with tears

I would love to linger but I can’t stay long

You see my heart is broken and now it’s not so strong

I hang on to memories of way back when

So I can remember your face and the touch of your skin

I remember Halloween and mummy dogs

Scary ghost and silly frogs

I hope you remember paper snowballs and kisses at the door

I remember those sweet days and so much more

Birthday cakes I made just for you, a bouncy house a red

fire engine just to name a few

A salon day upstairs for hair and nails, quiet times and fairy tales

Sunday morning mass where we gathered at the pew

How quickly it went even Father’s homily flew

I held you close and we swayed to the sound of your mother’s voice

Those were days of happiness a time to rejoice

Remember the movie we made starring and directed by you

Luke Skywalker so young and new

The other day I cleaned out a toy box that was

full of toys you use to play

I put them aside but I couldn’t throw a thing away

I hold on to you in my heart and there you’re seven, four and two

The most beautiful children I ever knew

I hope you remember paper snowballs and kisses at the door

  I remember those sweet days and so much more.
