We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds The days we do not think of you are very hard to find Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone No one knows the heartache as we try to carry on Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you no one will ever know Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still There will always be heartache and often a silent tear But always precious memories of the days when you were here If tears could make a river and heartache make a lake We could fill an ocean with tears all for your sake We hold you close within our hearts and there you will remain To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again Adapted from ‘We do not need a special day – author unknown
