I Miss

I miss my mother and father I miss my brother I miss all of them The uncles the aunts the grandparents Each and every one At some time or another- There are so many friends I miss I am an old man now So many are gone I miss them I wish I could see them And speak to them again I remember them I see them in my mind's eyes- I miss too Times of my life And even moments That come back in sudden piercing flashes Filled with sorrow and regret At what is no longer here- I miss so many so much I miss them all I cared for them I still do I can't help it I cry to myself At not seeing them- Too sentimental perhaps But I miss them And will miss them I guess As long as I am.
