The Gift of Oscar

When you were sent from up above
   how blessed I was to have your love.
So very few will understand
  the love I felt with my own hand.
And though you went away too fast
   a life time will your memory last.
You filled my life with so much love
   I'm sure you came from up above.
To show me how a caring soul
   could fill the void and make me whole.
