Ansa

A memory. A vision. A name long forgotten.
A name. A face. A tearful reunion.
A love. My love. A child of long ago.
Bright eyes from a life I once knew long ago.

My beloved, I miss you. I think of you and wonder where you rest.
Do you still draw your innocent breath?
What would be your age?
Do you still know my name?

I miss you, sweet child.
Dare I recall your face?
I long for you, my child.
My heart continues to ache.

Did I leave you, or did you leave me?
I cannot recall that sorrowful day.

I remember you now, Dear Child, and how we used to play.
I love you, My Child. Forever, until the end of my days.

~For Ansa, the child I knew once a lifetime ago.
