Bloodline

Elegy

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 5 months ago 1 min read

Though you are gone

I still see your smile

A happy home

In my baby’s eyes

A sort of hand me down

Hereditary

Much like your own

A link in your family

And when she smiles

We smile too

Reeling the time

Memories of you

But so much more

Of you remains

This house and home

All bears your name

Not one day

Escapes your touch

In so many ways

You meant so much

Taught me to love

To laugh and cry

Even so much

How to say goodbye

You’re in my heart

And under my skin

An angel on guard

And I am your kid
