“A face that is always on my mind,
A smile I have seen a million times,
Two eyes that would light up the sky at night,
One last battle you could not fight.
The day was long, then night the morn.
I knew that soon you would be gone,
I clasped your hand so in mine,
Soon we would be out of time.
To stay with us you fought so hard,
A million pieces went my heart
Waiting in heaven from this moment on,
Until God asks you to bring me home.”
We love you and will always carry you in our hearts, until we meet again
