In memory of Myrlin C. Balzen

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and the day before that, too. I think of you with silence, I often speak your name. All I have now are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memories are my keepsake with which I'll never part. God has you in safe-keeping. I have you in my heart. It broke my heart to lose you, but you did not go alone. A part of me went with you the day God called you home.
