Do You See What I See?

Catdog
What does this picture bring to your heart today?

Take a minute and look at it, what does it say?

Do you see what I see? This is always a fun game to play?

Rainy all day, homework blows, what else can I do today?

Depression filling my thoughts, I must escape from reality

I needed something inspiring to look at or face the fatality

Wishing you were here more than ever recall before

Remember those tattoos on your birthday, I paid for

A few moments ago I was pondering on the hummingbird

Purple and brilliant upon your back, beautifully, it hovered

Requiring inspiration like you used to give me; I came across this purple picture

Was looking for a purple hummingbird like on you, instead found adventure

Reminding me of the grapes I paid for on that tattoo visit as well

It was your birthday, I couldn't say no, instead said what the hell

Never understanding why you liked the color purple so darn much

Not to mention a fascination of grapes, hummingbirds, and such

This one picture, I seen it all and finally could understand why it was so

That you loved these three beautiful things, now I can say I do know

The beautiful imagination and inspiration you seen in only those three

The answer coming to me, as if sent directly from up above, I did see

I pondered upon the week all day, in that instant, my problems were gone

I realized all the times I wanted to pick up the phone, you were here all along

All of a sudden, once again finally, I felt alive and like I was set free

The way I felt when you were around, nothing to ponder, or worry

Time did pass, an hour actually, when I realized where I was and the time it was

Laughing hysterically all alone in the house, mind malfunction, happen it does

Loony is something I am not, sometimes crazy but that is always in fun

Laughing by myself is fine, but falling out of the chair in front of no one?

The only thing I could think about when I was supposed to missing you

Was that poor, pitiful excuse of a tattoo of a black cat, you hated it, too

We always had a black cat, we both picked that, so it just always happened

But what on earth caused you to be inspired to put that on your rear end?

All the years, we shared in common a liking for a black cat; even have one now

Never knowing, no matter how hard I think, ponder, or picture will I know how?

The only marking a valuable lesson: always think first before you do that

I know why I paid the big bucks for that one black cat to giddy up! Scat!

A cluster of big purple grapes, you picked your artist to create the design

What on earth you were thinking, I never understood; On your behind?!

When the artist completed his job, you went straight home to show me

On the webcam the picture of your cluster of grapes strung on your booty!

You were so proud of the decision you made on that special birthday

My opinion I held to myself; it wouldn't have mattered much anyway

The smile I seen on your face, I never thought I would ever go without

Never seeing your smile again, never knowing what His plan was about

Laughing today in just fun memories, of the person that I truly loved the most

How going to radiation in the end, baring naked the rear; grapes you'd post

Showing anyone who expressed interest, not a care in the world, the best gift

Today, I still don't understand purple hummingbirds and grapes; I got the drift

Even though physically you are not visible, you are always right by my side

Still protecting me in the thinking my decisions through, setting aside pride

Reminding exactly what love is, and where my inspiration does come from

A love misunderstood by some, one I was about to let go, thanks you mom!

I needed that reminder why I am as strong as I am, and why I continue to fight

Relentless and stubborn, I learned from him; Decisions? You taught me right

Think them through fully and wholeheartedly; patience, my dear

The answer will come in time even in a purple blob it might appear

One that started out as a vision of those silly hummingbirds and grapes

Ending in purple visions of people in love, stopping preliminary mistakes

I always think about you mother, wishing one more day we could have shared
Dedicated in the memory of you, I write this today, always by my side, prepared
