The Simple Things

A faded image of my mother

chromatic memories of my dad

Golden moments, cherished forever

some were the best I've ever had

They struggled through raising a family

gave everything, their heart and soul

but through it all they gave it happily

my love filled heart, down memories stroll

We had it all, though did not know it

gathered to eat each night as one

I'd trade the world to relive a moment

how quickly time becomes undone

Together again, upon my mantle

forever sealed in marble, blue

Their ashes blend, eternally tangled

Not even death could break, "I do."
