I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence, I sometimes speak your name
All I have are memories and your picture on this page
Your memory is my keepsake, with which I’ll never part
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.
