Sadly missed along life's way, |
Quietly remembered every day, |
No longer in our life to share, |
But in our hearts he's always there. |
|
Memory is a lovely lane, |
Where hearts are ever true, |
A lane I so often travel down, |
Because it leads to you. |
|
Your presence I miss, |
Your memory I treasure, |
Loving you always, |
Forgetting you never. |
|
I sit and wonder every day, |
Why the Lord chose to call you away, |
I think He saw you needed rest, |
He only takes the very best. |
|
Everyday in some small way, |
Memories of you come our way, |
Though absent, you are always near, |
Still missed, loved, always dear. |
|
A sadness still comes over us, |
Tears in silence often flow, |
Memory keeps you ever near us, |
Though you died one year ago. |
|
Resting where no shadows fall, |
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all; |
God will link the broken chain, |
When one by one we meet again. |
|
No farewell words were spoken, |
No time to say goodbye, |
You were gone before we knew it, |
And only God can tell us why. |
|
It only takes a little space, |
To write how much we miss you, |
But it will take the rest of our lives, |
To forget the way we lost you. |
|
It broke my heart to lose you, |
But you didn't go alone, |
For part of me went with you, |
The day God called you home. |
|
Those we love don't go away, |
They walk beside us every day, |
Unseen, unheard, but always near, |
Still loved, still missed, and very dear. |
