THOUGHT OF YOU TODAY

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday and days before that too.

I think of you in silence, I often speak your name.

All I have is memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake from which I’ll never part.

God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.
