Life’s Journey

Melanie Louise Robinson

 

You are not forgotten loved one, nor will you ever be,

as long as life and memory last; 

We will remember thee. We miss you now;

our hearts are sore as time goes by we’ll miss you more.

Your loving smile, your gentle face, 

No one can fill your vacant place.
