Photographs (Of You)
I chased you in my dreams…
Down hollow halls with walls covered with pictures of you
From my birth to your death
My heart wept because you’re no longer here
It’s been twelve years…
Twelve long lonely years of not having you near
There was movement in each photograph that I passed
Snapshots from my childhood
Where you stood
A constant fixture
In my life
I wipe the tears from my eyes
That blinded my view of you
All I could see were those pictures on the wall…
Each was a happy memory replayed as I grew up with my siblings
That loving feeling I felt when you hugged me
Your presence when I gave birth to my sons
Your smile beamed like the sun
Which always made my heart dance
I glance down the hall only to see you turn the corner
Further away from my grasp
This was my last chance to reach out and grab your hand
I know that God reserved a spot for you in the promise land
But I still need you…
You were the super glue that held my heart together
It shattered as I watched you go upstairs to Heaven
You turned facing me
Embraced me and stayed just long enough to sweep up the broken pieces
Mending them back whole
You hugged me one last time
Telling me it was time to go home
You said I won’t be alone because you inserted a piece of yourself within the valves that keeps me alive
Inside of those picture frames are moments that will never die
So for now its goodbye
Don’t cry my love
Because up above
Beyond those stairs
Is where I need to be
You said to me as you walked away
As I retreat down hollow halls with walls covered with pictures of you
The sun shined brighter than it ever had
Was momentarily sad
But then I realized that all your years on this earth
You prepared to be with Jesus
You didn’t leave us
Because your spirit will always be with us…
I still dream of you though
