In Memory of Mom and Dad by June Nazarian

I climbed the steep stairs to the attic above
In a dusty old box were their letters of love
On crumbling paper untouched for so long
My heart skipped a beat as I read their sweet song

"My wonderful Rose, the best flower of all
Fresher than spring and more vibrant than fall
I miss your green eyes and your beautiful smile
Your cute bashful ways and your "it girl" style."

"Oh Raymond my darling I hope you can see
Your gentle, kind nature is perfect for me
When they first introduced us I turned crimson red
There was nothing about you that didn't turn my head."

I devoured the box from letter to last
Their most private moments from times long past
Pure innocent charity shone through each line
I'm ever so grateful these parents were mine

Dear Mom, dear Dad, there's a tear in my eye
You've taught me how life makes you laugh and they cry
But cry I will not for your lesson to me
Is that joy follows sorrow eternally

A/N: Today is the first anniversary of my mother's passing, my father a few years ago. I miss them.
