I haven’t written in a while,

Words are sometimes hard.

I haven’t written in a while,

My heart still feels scarred.

 

I feel sad knowing you’re not here,

Miss you all the time,

I want to talk on the phone,

Hear your voice on the other line.

 

The children miss you lots,

It breaks my heart to see.

You made such an impact on our lives,

It’s hard to leave it be.

 

I know you are now at peace,

I understand your pain.

I just wish the pain could have stopped,

So we could have you here again.

 

You were a beautiful light,

In a sometimes very dark place.

It will be harder to smile and laugh,

But for you, happiness we will try to embrace.
