Moving On

Your love was and is a treasured gift

That I hold deep within my heart

Its purity and gentleness

I recognized from the very start

It came to me at the most perfect time

When I was alone and never knew

That there was a void in my life

And that I really needed you

Your love brought a change to me 

It made me realize

That hugs were so much better

Than anything money could buy

Conversation and laughter filled the air

With plans made just for two

Eventually though our love

Strengthened and our family grew

I never imagined that one day

Far too soon

That I would have to say goodbye to you

But God had a plan

I’ve done all that I can 

The years have passed

And now it’s time to move on 

But first I want to mention

You may be physically gone

But you’ll never be forgotten

Our kids are young adults now

They’re both exactly like you

When I look into their eyes

I happily see you

Although our house holds 

A life of old memories

A house is not a home

These moments etched in time

Will gladly be set free

And forever travel with you, the kids and me

From now 

And throughout eternity
