My heart is very sad today
And the tears just flow and flow
As I came across a picture
When you were 12 years old.


My heart is oh so heavy today
More then ever before
Just knowing that you will never
Again walk in the door.


I was not there to hold your hand
Or give you a kiss good bye.
And never in life will I accept
The way you had to die.


Someday soon I will see you again
With the angels up on high,
I know you must be happy there
But sometimes I question why.



I know in my heart I must forgive
But sometimes it’s very hard,
To even grasp that you are gone
My heart is full of scars.


I can only pray you see me write
This poem for you today,
I can only pray you are looking down
And protecting us today.


And until the day God calls us home
I will try to keep real strong,
And treasure all the memories
That fill my heart with song.

Scripture from 2 Corinthians 5

For we know that if our earthly house,
this tent, is destroyed, we have a
building from God, a house not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens.

So we are always confident, knowing
that while we are at home in the body
we are absent from the Lord. For we
walk by faith, not by sight.

We are confident, yes, well pleased
rather to be absent from the body
and to be present with the Lord.
