She is Not Gone
Ease your grief, she is not gone,
For in your heart, she lingers on.
Her smile, her laugh, her special way,
Will comfort you, for day to day.
You’ll feel her presence in the breeze,
That dances gently, through the trees.
And it’s her face that you shall see,
When you need company.
At any time, you can recall,
The love you shared… you saved it all.
And in time, more than anything,
You’ll find peace in remembering……
