I thought of you today
but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday
and days before that too.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
All I have are memories
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake
from which I'll never part.
God has you in His arms,
and I have you in my heart.

Those we love don't go away
They walk beside us everyday
Unseen, unheard but always near
Still loved, still missed and very dear...Author Unknown
