I came by today
I came by looking for you today.
I left an earlier engagement because my mind wouldn’t let me stay. I really needed someone to talk to, and who else but you would know, or do you?
I drove over there in my old van hoping to get a glimpse of you or something familiar so I would know where to go.
I drove through the parking lot, trying to remember, anything, a detail that may of stuck. I looked for your van, but I honestly don’t remember the color. Was it green?
I went to the other side of the building because all I can clearly remember is you pointing in that general direction as we said goodbye last time.
I wanted to get out and read the names on the mail boxes to see if you were listed there, but there were a few people lingering , and well you know how I am about that, don’t you?
I would of given anything then to see you, talk to you, just to know that all is well, maybe even a friendly pat or rub on my back, the way you once did. A smile, an embrace, anything to let me know you still cared.
I came by today, I tried the best I could.
Happy mothers day Mom.
