I remember going to this cemetery,

so quiet it was and my little heart full of wary.

Tears of salt sting my face

wounded emotions begin to race

amid standing beside your grave,

trying to be brave..

to touch your name engraved in stone,

While feeling fatherless and alone..

I miss you so, it has been eighteen years,

the feeling is too strong,

But I know God makes no mistakes,

And that these are my mortal heartaches,

I shall smile and reflect in hope,

that one day in heaven we’ll be together.
