A Year Ago Today
A year ago today, was the day you went away.
I thought about you yesterday, and I also did today.
All I have are memories, forever warm and sweet,
A gentle touch I felt today, from my head down to my feet.
If only I could bring you back, even just for a little while
We can sit and talk and laugh, and I can see you smile.
Your footprints embedded in my heart, never will I ever part.
I know God have you in His arms, and I have you in my heart.
— Walden
Remembering Mama
We celebrated Mama’s 1st Anniversary at Chiak’s home with the family with Mama’s closest friends with a nice homemade dinner. Thank you Auntie Bee San, Auntie Siokhua, and Amber.
My Mother, the Song
Listen to the new version of “My Mother”, performed by Jai Lynn of Burbank. Jai Lynn sang, played piano and strings. Jose Venezuela completed the song with violin touches.
Here is the original version of My Mother, a poem I wrote and in collaboration with Deri made the music in 2017. Additional guitar was contributed by Steve and Jose Venezuela early 2018.
