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.
