I saw myself in you

20 years younger,

So vibrant, new ideas and radiant light

A single mistake marring a pristine pool

A life yet lived unfolding

Strong, diligent, fiercely loyal, and loving

A mother caring for her mirror

I saw my daughter in you

In knowing you I believe I came to know her world a touch more

All the love I could not give her

Unwittingly I lavished upon you

You taught me about your world

What it looked like, how it sounded, your unique street flair

You taught me how to roll a proper blunt and just chill

I catch myself,

Unconsciously , looking for your car

In the bay Nextdoor

All the places we met, talked, shared,

Laughter, tears , loneliness and abundance

We talked for hours

Whilin’ away about God

Chillin’ bugging out, sincerely sharing our lives

As much as I taught you

You taught me more

I love you girl

Your daily presence will be sorely missed
