'gift Beyond Measure'

I thought of you today
   As I walked pass your door
Hoping it would slide open
   Just one more time

One more chance
   To see that smile of you again
One more chance
   To hear you laugh again

We don’t always get what 
   We wish for,
one thing I could never
   Have imagined was 
Having you as part of my life

So even though your door 
   Will not slide open today
Even if I don’t see your smile again
   One thing’s for sure,
The laughter and memories we
   Shared,
Will remain one of my most blessed gifts…
