"Missing You"
You never said you were leaving
you never said goodbye
you were gone before we knew it
and only God knows why
A million times I needed you
A million times I cried
if I alone could have saved you
you never would have died
In life I dearly loved you
in death I love you still
in my heart I have a place
that only you can fill
It broke my heart to lose you
but you didn't go alone
As part of me went with you
the day God took you home
this poem dedicated to Kathryn and her
family in the loss of her son, Brian.
May God comfort your family as the days turn into months and into years of grief. May your pain grow less as time grows nearer for you to see him again.
