Family in the distance

Not sure where to begin as it has been quite sometime since I have last written in my blog. Some years have past, and I have definitely gone through a roller coaster of emotions. I am so blessed to have a wonderful husband and two awesome kids, but sadly there are times that I long for my mom, dad, and sister. All three have moved out of our home state. My sister resides in North Carolina with her husband and kids. My parents decided that the place for them was in South Dakota. A little poem for family in the distance.

Family in the distance

My mind had dreamed of something more
my child's hand held safe in yours

Life passes us by so fast
children have grown
the present is the past

Missing my family hurts everyday
one visit I ask "will you stay?"

miles are long
distance is far
won't you come back
is a wish upon a star

A girl needs her mom
for talks and to listen
for my mom is the one I am missing

please remember that no matter the distance
our love for you is in our existence

mirror images of who you are
reflect within us
our bright and shiny star

Til we meet again, I hold you near
I miss you all. I drop a tear

May the roads between us never come to a finish
and the memories we made never diminish

I look forward to the day we stand side by side
reminiscing of our journeys
on this crazy ride
