His Laugh

I hear your laugh in memories of the past:
That laugh when I spread the garden seed a little thick.
That chuckle when you saw me pulling plants instead of weeds.

I hear that laugh every time I see your chair
And remember the last night you sat there.

I hear your laugh when the family gathers
And in quiet moments I hear your voice
And know you're not so far away.
