Don't give up! Keep on going! Till victory is won!!!


I saw you when i was young!
You taught me how to walk.
And how to run.
I saw you when i was old!
You taught me how to love.
And how to grow.
You saw me at my best.
As well as at my worst.
The times i cried.
And the times i smilied.
When i couldn't sleep.
You were there.
When i lost my way.
You showed no fear.
Kept me safe.
In your loving arms.
And now i know where you are.
You are in a better place.
Somewhere high and out of sight.
Lost in the skies above.
Where the sun is always shinning.
And the angels take flight.
I hope to one day.
Join you there.
In time i will see.
That although you're gone.
You're not that far away.
In that happy place to stay.
Keeping me safe everyday.
While i sleep, talk, or play.
You are always besid eme in a way.
Somewhere high and out of sight.
Lost in the skies above.
Where the sun is always shinning.
And the angels take flight.
There you will stay.
And be safe tonight.
Throughout your life, that has been your light.
Watch over me.
As i grow.
Everyday i can think of you.
As the angel.
That guided me home.
I will always love you.
This you should know.
As i walk away from this casket.
And am on my way home.
It's a matter of chance.
That we'll be blessed again.
After you are gone.
Our hearts will ache.
And sometimes break.
But we carry with us.
The light of your ways.
And now just knowing is okay.
That right now.
You are in a better place.
Somewhere high and out of sight.
Lost in the skies above.
Where the sun is always shinning.
And the angels take flight.
And we know.
If we ever need you.
That's where you'll be tonight.
