Even though it’s been nine years
This time of year brings me to tears
I miss you more as time goes on
Life’s so different with you gone
Some things of course aren’t so bad
It’s just that without you I feel sad
But despite that I am not mad
You’re not in pain, for that I’m glad
Still I wonder why you had to go
Some days I can’t stop the tears that flow
But then I stop and I think of Him
Then the world doesn’t seem so dim
I know that soon Jesus Christ will come
Satan’s reign will be over and done
One day I’ll feel your warm embrace
Maybe I will hear Jesus say,
“Well done, my child, you have finished your race.”
And we’ll be happy, forever and alway
