Gone Never Forgotten

Etched in my heart,mind and soul `til i see you again
from time to time it`s hard to refrain
a little tear when i think of you
and all the things we used to do.

Your kindness and personality does live on
even so,Shirl you have gone
you have a daughter that has everything you had
your looks and manorisms, makes me so glad.

It`s a pleasent reminder that when you were here
such a comfort,that makes me feel near
to you whenever i do feel down
it lifts up my mood my spirits and frown

            R.I.P. Shirley Asprey x ( My sister )
