I know, my love,

The time has come

To finally let you go.

I know you're gone,

I must move on

To walk this lonely road.

And yet it seems

You're still with me

Each movement that I make -

A guiding light,

Still burning bright

With each step that I take.

I can't forget,

I won't regret

The moments that we shared.

That showed how much you cared.

Right from the start,

You touched my heart,

You opened up my eyes.

You helped me see

What I could be,

That I could reach the skies.

Now I still find

You're on my mind,

Though you're so far away.

I know it's wrong,

I can't hold on,

It's time to find my way -

Without your love

To lift me up,

Sometimes it's hard to face.

But in my dreams

You're still with me,

A part I can't erase.

With each new day,

It doesn't fade,

It's lonely with you gone.

Memories

Keep haunting me,

And yet I must move on.

Perhaps in time

Someday I'll find

It doesn't hurt so much.

But I know now

Without a doubt,

I won't forget your love

I heard your voice in the wind today

and I turned to see your face;

The warmth of the wind caressed me

as I stood silently in place.

I felt your touch in the sun today

as its warmth filled the sky;

I closed my eyes for your embrace

and my spirit soared high.

I saw your eyes in the window pane

as I watched the falling rain;

It seemed as each raindrop fell

it quietly said your name.

I held you close in my heart today

it made me feel complete;

You may have died...but you are not gone

you will always be a part of me.

As long as the sun shines...

the wind blows...

the rain falls...

You will live on inside of me forever

for that is all my heart knows.

"Little Did We Know That Morning"--- Anonymous

Little did we know that morning

God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories,

Your love is still our guide.

And though we cannot see you,

You are always by our side.

The chain is broken

And nothing seems the same.

But as God calls us one by one,

The chain will link again.

"Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."
