I Miss You

Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm).

Everyone has told me that you've gone to a better place.

Still I miss you, your smile, your laugh, your face.

I try to remember all the good times we shared,

how much you loved and cared.

I doubt there will be a day that goes by,

that I will not think of you and wonder why.

Why it had to be you who was taken away,

when I would have taken your place any day.

It seems so lonely since you've been gone,

but I understand that you've gone home.

I will always remember you with loving grace,

and think of you with a smiling face.

I know you are in Heaven right now smiling down,

so I'll try my best to laugh and not frown.

I am sad I wasn't able to say I love you and  goodbye,

even if you were unable to hear my final cry.

I'll think of you when I'm feeling lonely and depressed

and my tears will be laid to rest.

May you always be in my heart,

till the end because you were there from the start.
