Memories

Poem by: Louise Bailey

I feel a warmth around me,

like your presence is so near.

And I close my eyes to visualize

your face when you were here.

I endure the times we spent together,

and they are locked inside my heart

As long as I have those memories

we will never be apart.

Even though we cannot speak anymore,

my voice is always there,

because every night before I sleep,

I have you in my prayer.
