Memory

I should have held on to your hand 
A little while longer when I had the chance
I should have held you closer
But at that time I did not understand

Your beautiful smile and face
Frozen in time inside a frame 
It brings me to a place I feel safe
But sometimes I just cannot hide the pain

Every time I wear or see the color pink
I think of you and your amazing strength 
So many lives have changed since that day
The day when you were taken away
