 
" Reflecting Memories "
Reflecting on the memories of someone that we love,
we remember his laughter and his smiles
as he watches from up above...
Our hearts feel empty, our spirits have been broken,
our hearts whisper silence in the darkness
for no other words can be spoken...
The silence is sometimes more than we can bear,
so we embrace the image of his memory
so it will always be there...
We tend to get so busy and at times are put to a test,
but if we needed our hair done,
we knew that Cookie, was always the best...
With a stern look he'd say,
"aye mija, who did your hair"
he'd fluff it and fluff it,
and he'd say, "it's ok mija, I'll do the repair"...
His friendship was precious, we know that he cared,
for it was in his smiles and laughter,
and his heart, that he shared...
His memory has not left us, his memory is not gone,
he'll live in each and every one of us,
for in our hearts, is where he belongs...
He touched our lives in every which way,
and his memory will live in us forever,
until the very end of day...
He left us with memories and many happy thoughts,
we'll cherish each and every one of them
and the happiness they have brought...
Our hearts will cry many tears,
our hearts will feel sad,
but he wouldn't want anyone that he knew,
to ever feel bad...
So take this time to remember him and
keep him close to your heart,
for it is Cookie's memory that will live forever
and never shall it depart...
