Remembering You

I look in the mirror.

I see you in my blue-grey eyes, 

I see you in my high cheekbones 

& unruly tangled hair. 

I see you in my smile; 

the way it turns up at the ends.

I see you in my stubbornness; 

how we don’t back down.

I see you in Mother Nature; 

tenderly growing with care.

But most of all, I see you in 

my dreams…

Like mother like daughter, 

I feel & carry you in every breath. 

I look in the mirror.

I see you in my blue-grey eyes, 

I see you in my high cheekbones 

& unruly tangled hair. 

I see you in my smile; 

the way it turns up at the ends.

I see you in my stubbornness; 

how we don’t back down.

I see you in Mother Nature; 

tenderly growing with care.

But most of all, I see you in 

my dreams…

Like mother like daughter, 

I feel & carry you in every breath.
