driving past the lake and missing you

wishing you were here to get us through 

every up and every down and no 

one I want around

but you

I miss when we were face to face 

your smile always full of grace

never will that be replaced

that’s true 

wishing you could see 

the life you gave to me

forever I’ll believe 

you’re by my side 

every night when I pray 

hoping I hear you say 

“I watch over you every day 

I’m here”

brave and strong how hard you fought

everything you ever taught 

never had I ever thought 

I’d say goodbye 

no more asking why

I know now you can fly

I wish you didn’t die 

so soon

until we meet again

forever my best friend

I wish it weren’t the end

but for now

we’ll be alright.
