Upon your shoulders

I recall those moments.
You would throw me over your shoulder.
ascending without rest
Taller, older

I felt enormous.
At that enormous height, feeling no fear
Pure and simple joy

Secure in your control
strong and confident
They are now gone.
It feels really off.

I can't fly any more and reach the stars.
I no longer soar along that route of ours.

Above and above
Your own own length
On top of your strength, over your heart

Where you always kept me and everyone else so you could keep an eye on us and make sure we never fell

And you'd work nonstop to give us a life we'd enjoy every single day.

Even though you would complain, whine, and groan, you would still grin.
upon returning home



where we would eat meals prepared at home.
Sing to music
who sung the blues

like tales you'd tell about your youth and how society has evolved

You would remember your own father.
The joyful occasions you two experienced

I'd want to cry while grinning and thinking of us all.

For as I knew
You'd lost your own
I knew that you'd
Leave me alone

All I could do was pray and hope that today would not be that day.

I therefore tried to record every notion we had while talking each night.

also each smile
Each laugh
Similar to photos in my head

Now I'm playing Your best songs
our time spent together
What we do best

I now cherish these recollections.
In my mind as your image
my glove

And I pledge I'll never forget you, and I'll always adore you, till the day I pass away.
