I close my eyes
as I lay here,
hoping and wishing
you were near.
All I hear is stories
that make me want to cry,
I wish for one thing only,
that you didn't have to die.
They say you were a great person,
it's hard for me to believe,
I only knew you for a year or two,
you're the only one I want to see.
I wish you were here
to dry every tear,
to be with me
for the rest of my years.
I know you are in heaven,
somewhere looking down,
being proud of your kids,
with an upside down frown.
