In our Hearts

We thought of you today.

But that is nothing new,

We thought about you yesterday

and days before that too.

We think of you in silence,

We often speak your name,

Now all we have are memories

and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake,

With which we’ll never part.

God has you in his keeping

We have you in our heart.
