By My Side

Ever since I can remember
and before
She was by my side.

She had my back,
Powerful little human.

She called me the sensible one,
and I never understood
What She meant.

As I remember,
I remember sitting
by Her side
as she drove us to
a concert
or an event.

She got great tickets
from her boss and
I was easy to ask,
I was right there,
By Her side.

We saw Segovia, The Bolshoi,
The Symphony,
and the historians at
Ancestral
Bishop Hill.

So as I write about
Glimpses I recall,
and feelings that come to me strongest,
some of the best memories were of riding in the car
Talking about nothing special,
Right by her side.
