Heartbeat

Your picture on the stand Stares back at me and I understand The meaning of missing a part of my heart A feeling that lingered from the start You remain as real as my breath Even in death We count the days and never miss a mark Gazing at each other knowing the reason in the dark Hands reaching out clinging Our love carries us from the beginning Not a day goes by without mentioning your name Memories of you burn like a flame The silence feels heavy in the air Life is not the same without our dear Carebear You were a ray of light and now the missing link nothing could prepare us We grieve, we celebrate and in our love we trust The Unthinkable Is now the Unbearable A beautiful legacy you left behind Two hearts that loved you intertwined We carry the pain a tribute to you In every memory your light shines through You are a testament that love endures beyond loss If it means remembering you I will bear it like a cross Your memories carry me To a place where it is always Christmas and carefree
