IN OUR HEARTS

We thought of you today

but that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday

and days before that too.

We think of you in silence

we often speak your name.

Now all we have are memories

and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake

with which we'll never part.

God has you in his keeping

we will hold you in our hearts.
