Your years on earth were plentiful
though you may have struggled
on the way;
My tears this week are plentiful
as I have struggled to bid you
farewell.
Your smile so bright
lingers in the memories
I hold so dear;
Your light shines down upon me
as I attempt to cope
now that you are gone.
My heart aches,
though I know you now reside
in Heaven
and no longer feel the pain.
To your parents, and husband,
you have returned to live
eternally with our Lord,
and for that I am grateful.
On earth each day is a struggle
to breath,
to breath,
to be okay.
Angel, up in heaven,
guide us as we move through time.
You are my Angel in the sky
in the safety and warmth of Heaven
in the land of the peaceful.
Physically you may have departed,
but in my heart you will forever stay.
You helped to make me who I am,
guided me on my path,
taught life lessons to us all.
An amazing woman you were-
you will continue to be.
Closely, and forever,
I carry your love
in my heart
and all my loving memories.
