Things I Miss

Things I Miss

I miss the sunlight in the morning,

the dew drops on the lawn.

The birds singing their songs,

in the early morning dawn.

I miss seeing the leafs,

blowing in the wind.

The sound of the water,

gurgling in the brook.

I really miss the way,

that everything looks.

For you can only see so much,

looking out the window.

The sounds floating in,

through a screen.

You don't see all the flowers,

that are blooming in the spring.

Or the farmer in his garden,

with plow in tow.

The corn in July,

all growing in a row.

The sounds of children laughing,

as they play in their pools.

Or their joyous screams,

as they get out of school.

I miss the smell of Autum,

the coolness in the air.

The way the fall wind blows,

through my hair.

The crackling of the leafs,

when they crunch under my feet.

I miss taking the kids door to door,

to say Trick or Treat.

I miss feeling the snowflakes,

falling on my face.

The sound of the crackling bonfire,

as the skaters lace their skates.

I miss the beauty of the sun.

rising on the snow.

Going outside feeling the,

cold north wind blow.

Watching the sun,

setting in the west.

All the beautiful colors,

I like the red the best.

I miss looking,

into the nighttime sky.

Watching the twinkling stars,

up so very high.

But most of all I miss you dear,

I have since you died.

I know we'll be together again,

That thought keeps me alive.

    Very emotional piece. Many people take these things for granted. Don't know what you've got till it's gone.
