Years pass and memories fade

So many years pass by
And memories of you have faded
Not because I've forgotten about you
But because so much has happened in life
I looked at a picture of you and it's hard because I miss you
And I miss your love and talking to you in truth
You are not there to share my dreams and worries with
You are not there to share achievements and aspirations with
I'd have been proud for you too see my kids and how they've grown so strong and big
And it hurts me inside so much
Because now I have lost touch
With the memories of growing up
And everything you both did for me
And though our life was really tough because we never had enough
But what you could give me was love and I appreciate that so much
I had the best childhood anyone could ask for
You gave me freedom and the right to enjoy being a child
And I see these as my golden times
But I still miss you and it hurts the memories of you have become so hard to recall
But as my mum and dad I will always think and pay homage to you
Because you created me and gave me life and so I to thank and give gratitude in truth
To you my wonderful and loving parents
You're always on my mind.
