Memorial Verses

Though tears in my eyes don’t glisten And my face is not always sad There is never a night or morning But I think of the mum/dad I had Not a day do I forget you In my heart, you are always here For I loved you and missed you As it ends the second year.

Dearer still as the years depart He lives forever in my heart.
