"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 a 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.
