One Year On

On your first anniversary tears are shed.
More than memories, we want you home instead.

You're my first and last thoughts every day.
You'll journey on within me.
Your memory will not fade away
As long as I live and breathe.

Like the glow of a fire in the wintertime,
Your love warms this heart of mine.

I close my eyes and I see your smile.
I fold my arms and feel your hug.
I watch your shows and hear your laughter.
I sit in the dark and see your light.

I'll carry your light wherever I go
You're no longer here but I love you so.

When I see something awesome I hear your "Wow!"
And feel your emotions during certain songs.
Though we can't communicate,
Somehow I know the things you'd say.

Thinking back, I still wonder why
We never got to say goodbye.

Even you didn't know yourself
That your time to fly had arrived!
You are cherished and loved by all you knew
And today you unite us in thought.

It's hard to believe you've been gone for a year.
Miss you lots Nana...wish you were still here.
