To my love,

In life I loved you deeply

in death I love you still

in my heart you hold a place

No one else can ever fill

I held your hand, and we cried

Whishing we had more time together

It broke my heart to loose you

But you didn’t go alone

Part of me went with you

The day God took you home

If my love for you

Could have saved you,

You would have never died

From your sweetheart, Gloria
