To my Bompa

To my Bompa

I miss you when i laugh

and I miss you when I cry.

I miss you when it's time to say Goodbye

I miss you when it rains

and I miss you when it snows.

I miss you every time the wind blows

and when the birds fly,

I know that you’re close by

with a smile in your eyes,

Because the love in your heart

is so big that you don’t know where to start.

Your love was passed to my mom

and to my aunt and to me.

It was passed to my brothers

and to anyone who breathes.

I miss your smile

and the memories it holds.

I miss your hug,

that is equivalent to gold.

I can still feel your love

and I feel every time you're proud.

I wish I could spend these years with you,

although I know that you’re around.

I miss you because you gave me my mom

and our lovely Oonie May.

I miss you because your love is loud

and that just makes me proud.

You used to tell me

that I get prettier every day.

But now I just miss you,

like the desert misses the rain.
