You were so full of life,
Always smiling and carefree.
Life loved you being a part of it,
And I loved you being a part of me.
*
You could make anyone laugh,
If they were having a bad day.
No matter how sad I was,
You could take the hurt away.
*
Nothing could ever stop you,
Or even make you fall.
You were ready to take on the world,
Ready to do it all.
*
But God decided he needed you,
So from this world you left.
But you took a piece of all of us,
Our hearts are what you kept.
*
Your seat is now empty,
And it's hard not to see your face.
But please always know this,
No one will ever take your place.
*
You left without a warning,
Not even saying good-bye.
And I can't seem to stop,
Asking the question why.
*
Nothing will ever be the same,
The halls are empty without your laughter.
But I know you're up in heaven,
Watching over us and looking after.
*
I didn't see this coming,
It hit me by surprise.
And when you left this world,
A small part of us died.
*
I remember you swinging from the
Hayloft ropes,
When you were just a boy.
And the last time I ever saw you,
You were driving your pride and joy.
*
Your smile could brighten anyone's day,
No matter what they were going through.
And I know every day for the rest of my
Life,
I will be missing you.
