POEM
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 are 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.
From Your girls forever, Pamela and Heidi
