I remember your smile <br />so bright and full of love <br />you gave me a glimpse <br />of the peace of God's love. <br /> <br />I remember your laughter, comforting words, <br />your strength, <br />I wish I had told you <br />just what your friendship meant. <br /> <br />You're a shining example <br />of what a lady should be <br />The peace and love of God <br />for everyone to see. <br /> <br />I realize how lucky I was <br />to know you and call you friend <br />You taught me so much <br />even at the end. <br /> <br />You taught me about God <br />how even I can call him friend <br />You taught peace, courage, and dignity <br />when our journey comes to an end. <br /> <br />I truly believed God would spare you. <br />I thought your healing was guaranteed. <br />But I guess instead of healing, <br />He wanted you totally freed. <br /> <br />I know I took you for granted, <br />I thought you'd always be there. <br />I was too shy <br />I never told you how much I cared. <br /> <br />At first I was angry at God, <br />but now I realize I was wrong. <br />Even though I miss you, <br />you're not really gone. <br /> <br />Your memory will live on <br />in our thoughts, hearts, and minds. <br />When I close my eyes I see youyou're not hard to find. <br /> <br />And I know I'll see you again- <br />Hear your voice, see your smile. <br />I'll see you again in our Father's home, <br />in just a little while. <br /> <br />I love and miss you!
