Thought for the Month
Part of Me…


A photo of a rocking chair

I thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday
and the day before that, too.
I think of you in silence.
I often say your name.
But all I have are memories
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake,
with which I'll never part.
God has you in His keeping,
I have you in my heart.
I shed tears for what might have been.
A million times I've cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly.
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place,
no one can ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone.
For part of me went with you,
the day God took you home.
