"I'm still here, waiting for your notice.
I never left you, you have to know this.
I've seen you tell my story over and over again;
my legacy that I have left for you to spread.
I've heard the lines over and over again;
they're forever pressed into the depths of my head.
I have seen you laugh and I have felt your tears;
your hopes, your dreams, even your rage, and your fears.
Still, you know what you have to do;
keep my memory and legacy living.
Someone out there still needs you;
love, strength, and support to them you will be giving.
Do not worry about me, for I am doing great up here.
Though it's hard to fathom my mortality being lost,
you can always be assured, Son, I'm still here."
I lost my mother July 27, 2002 to cancer. It was the worst thing I have ever seen or gone through. Anyone with this horrible disease or by the side of someone battling, my heart and prayers...
I'm Still Here
