I think of you
With every day,
I remember how
You went away.
I was left without
Your face to see,
But your memory always
Will stay with me.
Now and then
I get a bit down,
And my eyes well up
Because you're not around.
One tear falls
For every memory
Now that you can't
Be here with me.
I held it in
I stayed so strong
But I was falling
All along.
Into a pain
And into despair.
Into something for which
I could never prepare.
I want to see you
But I can't bare the sight,
Of the cold stone tablet
That displays your life.
They say your life ended
Like you're no longer here,
Then what is this feeling
When I feel like you're near.
Truth be told
You're never gone,
Because in my heart
You forever live on.
So I live my life
and I try to stay happy.
Because you'd like that
Grandma, Grandpa and Pappy.
Yes tears of Memory
Reside in this boy,
But because of your love
They are tears of joy.
