Those We Love

Those we love don’t go away They walk beside us everyday And when I feel my world begin to grow As dark as night I feel the warmth of your hand gently holding mine tight The years have gone and at times I lose track of time And yet to me it was only yesterday when you were taken from my side You vowed you would be beside me always Yet always was not meant for you and me Always ended that second day in January I sat by your side and said goodbye I kissed your check and tried not to cry I let you go peacefully Knowing that when it’s time for me to go You’ll be in the other side waiting to greet me
