Remembering

The hopes, the fears, the pain, the tears,
The list goes on and on,
For day after day since you went away
My thoughts are on you...alone.

Our hopes for your future
Now dashed and gone,
Remember our plans
For your Senior Prom?

Remember our talks
About your Senior year?
I't's hard to believe
That you won't be here.

I look at your car
Just sitting there,
Without you in it...
Is so very unfair.

I sit in your car
And feel you nearby,
I remember our drives
And again...I cry.

Remembering helps me
When the days are so long,
All I have are my memories
Now that you're gone.

With love, Gram
