Reminiscing your house, the first place I called “home”
Reminiscing my childhood, when your presence was just around the corner
Reminiscing your care, your words, your wisdom
Reminiscing our log afternoons, enthralled by your captivating stories
Especially you, who understands me entirely
Especially you, who offers boundless compassion and underserved forgiveness
Especially you, who brings me comfort amidst surrounding chaos
Especially you, whom I have endless love for
Time after time, your sprouts cease to wither
Time after time, your warmth becomes a serene magnet for others
Time after time, you find the faint light in an enveloping darkness
Time after time, you are the steady strength I lean on
Time after time, I eagerly await our yearly reunion
