For you Auntie with Love,

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one's gone
Those we love are never more then a thought apart.
For as long as there is a thought, they live on in our heart.

If we had our life to live over again,
Next time we'd give you more kisses and hold you closer,
We'd notice more often the sunlight on your skin
and the way you smiled on a rainy day.
We'd memorize everything you ever said to us
and carry it in my heart like a poem.
We'd listen to the music of your voice the way other people listen to a symphony.

If we had our life to live over again
Next time we'd hold you closer
So we could love you longer...

With Love,

Your Nephew,

Bennettae Bowens
