Each morning as I look into the mirror
Your face, adored, appears to me
Reflections of my childhood holding strong still
Replays inside me endlessly
Left without saying farewell
Must have been the angels time to save you
Though I never will forget
Days of mourning must now be through
Since before the moment memory took hold
The source of strength and wisdom, a sanctuary, a home
With no regard to reason nor circumstance
All worry ceased and all was right with the world
No words can express my love and gratitude
I'll hold it in my heart and keep you for all time
At least no suffering remains
Never saw it for what it was a blessing in disguise
At least now confidence remains
Saved your body from its torture, a better place in store
Now moving on and letting go of regret
Centering on all the lessons I had been taught
Applying them to life to future endeavors
Along with every step that is taken
You'll live forever through your grace
Through your memory there you will always remain
