Ghosts

I have lost people in my life. Lots of them. I don't remember alot of them or was at a time in my life where it didn't really effect me that they were gone. Teenage and young adult years I was so stupid. No smart enough to appreciate what and who was around me. Then there was a point in my life that I didn't realize what they meant to me until they were not there anymore. Recently I have lost some pretty special people in my life. I don't think I really got wise until I became a mother.

Its funny, I keep seeing them.

There is a lady that I see all the time around town that looks just like one of my friends. Her mannerisms, the way she carries herself (walks like a model) and the way she smiles. I saw her recently dancing. I wish I could've heard her laugh.

There is this little lady that pays her bill in my office at the first of the month, every month. She looks just like my grandmother. Not exactly but she is a small frail woman, little glasses, real soft spoken and grey permed hair. Reminds me so much of her. I wish I could hug her.

I wish I could see them all again or at least the memories of them walking around that I seem to keep bumping into. It makes me smile to see them. I am sad I don't see everyone I have lost at times; maybe I will one day. I like my "ghosts" I see around town. I hope they continue to visit me.

You should look around and see what is here now. Slow down take in the features, the mannerisms, the laughs. You could see them again one day and smile...Until then
