GONE TOO SOON

We weren’t prepared for you to go
You were too full of life to be
Taken away from us so soon
It’s still hard to believe
 
How much we’ll miss your smile
And your laughter in our ears
Your absence leaves a hole in us
We’re filling with our tears
 
You taught us how to be our best
To in the moment live
To never hold a grudge for long
And loyal friendship give
 
Your presence was a light and a joy
We never realized would someday end
Just like the brilliant falling star
That curved ‘round heaven’s bend
 
And though we cannot understand
The reasons God took you now
We’ll do our best to accept this loss
To carry on somehow…
 
Focusing on you and your joy in heaven
More than mourning in distress
Smiling through our falling tears
Counting our time with you quite blessed

We will remember you forever
For you, our hearts will always have room
We loved you more than you will ever know
You left us far too soon!
