When our tears have dried we will not forget you
When your eyes finally rest, you will still be with us
When you are rested, we will still spend time with you
You have placed a thousand and more memories deep inside us
The moments of love and compassion you have given entrench us
In our happy moments you will come to us
In our solitude you will keep us company
When we worry or are fearful you will smile upon us
For all that I do from today, you will come with me
my thoughts and my moments will be shared with you
In your honour and memory you live with me
You are my fabric, you are the fibres I am made from
Your smile, your laugh and your dance are inside me
You will continue in me, as I continue in my children
I thank you for everything
May I learn to be as patient, as caring and as selfless as you
I am forever yours
