Can you see the moon where you are?
Is it clear enough to see the stars?
Do they paint your sky like Christmas lights?
Can you sleep when they burn so bright?
Do you know that it’s September; Claire is in high school?
Or that our boys came over last weekend to help close up the pool?
Do you know that I am learning to sign cards with only my name?
That my heart aches for you like you left just yesterday
I took up reading to help me fall asleep at night
Do you know I never sleep on your side?
The moments are strung together like clothes on a line
Feels like I’m waiting for another day to dry
Do you know that it’s October and our birch tree is almost empty?
Rachel’s dressing like a princess this year for Halloween
Do you know that I am learning to sign cards with only my name?
That my heart aches for you like you left just yesterday
You were in the middle of building that picket fence when you left
I was in the middle of saying “I love you” when you breathed your last breath
Do you know that it’s December and the basement’s just as cold?
The whole family comes on Sunday for presents like usual
I’ll never get used to signing cards with only my name
That my heart aches for you
Like you left yesterday
