“Dad’s waiting you know.
JJ’s loving having poppa nearby.
But he still asks for daddy
When he wakes up from a bad dream.”
”I hold him, but it’s not the same.
And there’s no one to hold me,
When the nightmares get too strong.”
“But, I still feel your arms around me,
And your lips caressing mine.
I hear your voice in the morning,
On the drive to work as I play your Garth CD.”
“And I know it will get easier.
And we will get by,
As long as I can come here,
And lay in the grass, remembering.”

Thank You!
Thank You for Your entry: The Chat
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and after reading several times ~
I'm Honored also Humbled You took the time to pen for my contest
You took the prompt and brought forth much for the Mind to feast upon~
Bravo!! When I digest words written, images come through that grab hard~
Woven Strengths: After reading I was getting images from:
The Time Traveler's Wife
for some reason when he is there with the one he Loves
and then he has to leave etc
I have not seen the movie but see the title and other snippets
Mainly the underlining message and theme nudged to forward
Interesting Image for I am shown as if the grass and trees are listening
to the conversation and the sun comes out to join etc-
shedding Light~
As if....if it rained and there was thunder-lightning...it would clear
up and the clouds would part along with the thunderous sounds
it would also dissipitate~ making for a Beautiful day
I'm shown how the Energetic exchange...brings a smile so wide...
it could be felt...into the Heavens
However that is to be Interpreted...
You give the Reader much to think about
Love the direction You took with this prompt
Hopefully my comment to Your write makes sense
Powerful verse and message You have brought forth
These words grabbed and pulled~
“But, I still feel your arms around me,
And your lips caressing mine.
Vivid Imagery poured in these lines...
Thank You for sharing Your Talent also Voice
also best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
Many blessings too 
with much love and light~ Desire~*~
