In Memory

Sadness Looming, darkness brewing, 
Spirit heaviness ensuing
In preparation, anticipation
Of my annual day of mourning.

Time may pass but memories last
And though the gathering years go fast, 
Still I hear you; still I see you; 
Towards you still my thoughts are cast.

I miss you so, and even though
You are not here, and on I go
There'll always be a part of me
That keeps you near and holds you close.
