You’re Still On My Mind

Years passed

And you’re still here

Only In my thoughts

I wish the memories were more clear

But I only remember vaguely

I know I was happy

I hope you were too

Even with the pain you were put through

I hope your dreams came true

Hope it wasn’t too early for you

When my time comes

We can rejoice when we meet

But for now I must stay

I will do my duty

I will carry on your name

I hope you’re proud

I hope I’m doing right

This would all be easier

if you were by my side

But I know your looking down on me from above

I wish I paid more attention

When you gave me knowledge and wisdom

I wish I could listen now

I regret my careless decisions

I wish I could still listen

As I’m accomplishing

I hope you can see

I’m going to make a name for myself

I will not waste the opportunity you gave me

Hopefully you’ll be proud of me

When you passed

From this world

I remember it clear

You’re voice I still hear

And the silence after

I struggled to pick myself up

I know you wanted us to live on

Without a hiccup

But it’s hard when I still get choked up

You’re still on my mind

You taught me how to be a kid

You taught how to be a man

I can only hope everyone can understand

I know there is less fortunate

And I was lucky enough to have you as a parent

Even if your life was cut short

By a sickness that couldn’t be cured

I’m grateful for the time you had on the world

Be a free soul

And just know

You’re never be forgotten

You’re still on my mind
