Love you and miss you much!
Carlos, through my eyes
by
Lyn Marinello
A
mountain of a man
Opinionated,
loud
Completely
unmistakable
When
enveloped in a crowd
Like
a bull within a China shop
Undeterred
where he has trod
Comfortable
with who he was
No
need for pretense or façade
Bacchus
in human form
Indulgent
to grand excess
A
bit too much for some
But
I wouldn’t want him any less
A
big and booming voice
An
even larger heart
I’d
sit in eager anticipation
As
his escapades he’d impart
He
had pie-in-the-sky ambitions
Cherished
time to conversate
Always
game for a glass of wine
And
a sports or political debate
He’d
wrap you in a hug
That
you’d never want to end
He
was much more than a relative
He
was an honest, gracious friend
A
zillion weather-induced phone calls
To
check upon our health
Anxiously
awaiting
His
upcoming expansive wealth
There’s
an empty space you’ve left
A
chasm where you’ve been
Please
know how much you’re loved and missed
…
until we ride again …
