"Tenderman"
Your
time on earth seemed all too brief
because I wanted you in my life forever.
And although I really miss you,
in my heart I know that you are at peace.
Still, countless times throughout the day
I find myself remembering you.
Although I cannot see or hear you,
I know that you are with me.
I'll feel you in the warmth of the summer sun.
I'll see you in the brilliance of autumn leaves.
You'll be beside me in the peacefulness of a gentle snowfall
and rejoice with me at the emergence
of the first flowers of spring.
I'm thankful for the times we shared
and the priceless memories too;
for those memories are a comfort now when I lovingly -
Remember You.
The rolling stream of life goes on,
But still the empty chair
Reminds us of the face, the smile,
Of one who once sat there.
May the winds of love blow softly
And whisper so you'll hear,
We will always love and miss you
And wish that you were here.
