The day you died, I really cried, and for a long time after.

I look at your picture and see your smile and can almost hear your laughter.

Its so hard to live without you, you’ve been right by my side.

I’m forced to face the days alone now, Please know that I have tried.

I think about you every night, when I look up at the moon.

I knew that you would have to leave, I never thought so soon.

Everywhere I go, through many traveled places,

I see your image every day, in other children’s faces.

It makes me want to hold you, for just one more blessed time,

I turn my head and fake a smile, and pretend that I am fine.

Who said this was easy? There was no guarantee.

Just remain within my heart and try to comfort me.

I can’t say how much I miss you, the words just are not there.

An emptiness has moved within me, my heart is hollow air.

There is a day that I will find you, I know that much is true.

Until then, please remember me, and know that I miss you.
