Your time on earth seemed all too brief
And although I really miss you,
in my heart I know that you are at peace.
Still, countless times throughout the day
I find myself thinking of you.
Although I cannot see or hear you
I'm thankful for the times we shared
and the priceless memories too;
for those memories are all that comfort me now when I
think of You.
I love and miss you so much
