Like the sands of time you will forever run
Gently through our loving hearts.
Forever blessed are the gates of heaven
When they called you to your home.
Reunited you are with angels you lost
The wife you always adored.
We will forever love you and miss you so much
Until reunited with you.
We'll see you then with the wings you have worn
Concealed within your heart.
