it’s strange now
I’m used to seeing that, you know
I wonder how long
Ingrained In Your Head
Janet Kuypers, 09/05/06 #1
I’m back visiting my parent’s house
like I have done so many years in the past
and every time I’d come home
I’d pass by and look the the kitchen window
before walking to the door
and I’d see mom,
either at the kitchen sink
or maybe with her back turned in the kitchen
or else sitting in her chair in the den
watching tv
there are just some things
ingrained in your head
you can’t help it
and seeing mom there,
at home
seeing the outline of her hair
from the lamp in the den
it’s just second nature to me
I can keep these memories in my head
so I don’t forget her
