On The Sixth Anniversary of Your Death...

Six years ago today, we saw you suffering and in pain.

We know that it was soon time for you to go.

Heaven needed an angel, an angel full of love.

So God looked down upon you and said,

"Come to me my child, come rest your weary head. 

You strife is finally over, the journey finally won.

So come to me in Heaven, be angel for those who will grieve now down below." 

We surrounded your bed in silence, tears dancing in our eyes. 

We saw you take your last breath, before we said our goodbyes. 

We knew your pain was over, but ours just now begun. 

We know that you would always be with us, but you were gone too soon for us. 

So now, six years have come and gone, and still you're with us yet.

We think about you daily, we try so hard not to forget.

But just like snow blankets over you, our tears now do the same.

What it's like to loose you, we'll always know that pain.

So sleep now with the angels, rest your weary head.

But remember please to always look over us

Be our Heaven's Angel till the end.

~Love Always and Forever
