I Remember by Terrie*

i remember...
you holding my hand.
i felt so big,
and so tall.
you tucking me to sleep every night.
your comfort,when i was ill .
you'd say, all my love
all my life...
you told me that i was your breath,
and your strength.
i remember...
coming in to sit by your side
holding your hand.
watching you sleep.
lying there so still.
i sadly watched,
as you took away my strength
and my ....last breath
all my love...all my life to you dad...
