I Thought Of You With Love Today, But That Is Nothing New. I Thought About You Yesterday And The 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 My Keepsake, For With Which I'll Never Part.

~~~ Don't think of me as gone away my journey's just begun. Life holds so many facets, this life is only one. Just think of me as resting from the sorrows and the tears. In a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how I must be wishing that you could know today. That nothing but our sadness can ever pass away. And think of me as living in the hearts of those I touched. For nothing loved is ever lost and I am loved so much...~~~
