In My Memories

As I walked the path of life

and the day to day endless seas;

I use to wonder why I could never see

your face in my memories.

I could hear your voice,

and visualize all the family activities

together as we rejoiced;

But I could never see your face in my memories.

As I grew up and letters became few,

your presences no longer I knew;

I still had no clue why I could never

see your face in my memories.

Time passed and relationship was renewed,

laughter and activities were welcomed and brand new;

but I could never see your face

in my memories.

Later as test and trials revealed to me who you are,

Love and concern you showed from near and far;

But I still could not see your face

in my memories.

I know in my heart that you loved me from the start,

your letters i will cherish, as they are all that I have left

to overshadow any doubt; But I still do not know why

I could never see your face in my memories.

Now I'm an senior adult and the anguish of my youth has

grown colder, forgiveness is released, for I am now wiser

and unconditional love now comprise soul;

so now I can see your face in my memories! (2013)
