I have gotten around alot...I have laughed alot.. I was happy with the life I had with you...magic memories that will never end.
Your life is not in a book, or a magazine, or in the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen- you were so much more. I see your future at rainbows end, the happy hours, with all in the heavens above.
I know you are in eternal peace.
So I will let the magic of the moment say it all back to you.
A part of me died with you-and a part of you will always live with me.
