Laura 1st May 2012

Gone, but not forgotten This pain, I cannot hide In memory, I see you A million tears, I've cried. The tender thoughts you left me Come to my memory Your loving smile, so precious Will always be with me. You visit me in summer When flowers are in bloom Upon a ray of sunshine A star-lit night in June. When winds are gently blowing Across a cloudless sky Within a rolling meadow Where horse and cattle lie. I see you in the treetops As summer comes to be In shadows, you do linger A soul so young and free. I see you in the garden Your scent does fill the air Just like a precious flower A rose, so ever fair. On country roads, I find you Along the wooded lane Within the distant thunder I see you in the rain. In early hush of morning You come without a sound Upon a blazing sunset Your memory can be found. Like sprigs of morning glory Upon the vine, they grow With branches reaching outward Into my heart, you go. Just like a special angel God wrapped you in His care And took you off to heaven To live with Him, up there. But often, I still see you Upon a light blue sky And long so much to hold you Why did you have to die?
