Memories of Pat

This is the time of year I dread the most when memories come flooding back to haunt It was now you were taken far too young sixteen mainly wonderful years together Yes we had many many ups and a few downs life always seemed so sweet and fun I sit here remembering so many moments that are now frozen in time but special There are some tears both in my eyes, on my cheeks yet in the hush of night I still feel you close know you are waiting on the other side of the curtain soon when my time comes we will be reunited forever Until that time I will soldier on with life take what comfort I can from family and friends try to live a full life as best as I can I know you would wish me to move on, start again Yes I have tried, but no-one is you, not even close I can't settle for less not when I once had the best my one true soul mate, my forever and eternal only love So I cherish the precious memories as I wait to reunite bless you darling, my heart my love I lost Pat in September 2006
