Poem #1- Distance

Will I recognize you?
That is what lingers in my mind every day.
You are no longer the person I knew
When I was too young to understand
That people do not live forever.
Nothing is the same

Sometimes I forget about you
I forget that you are my family.
I forget that there is a connection
Despite the distance.

"Happy Birthday"
"Happy New Year"
"Merry Christmas"
and an occasional "How are you?"

Will I recognize your voice?
Your friendly loving voice that
used to greet me everyday.

My real question is
Will I make it in time to see you.
I wish I had more memories with you
To hold onto\

Please wait for me
Hold on a little longer
So that I can have one more memory of your presence

You will always be my family.
