I thought of you with love today                                                                              .                      but that is nothing new.                                                                                                                       .           I thought of you yesterday                                                                               .                      and days before that too.                                                                                       .           I think of you in silence                                                                                                  .                      as I often speak your name.                                                                                                        .           All I have are memories                                                                                                         .                      and your picture in a frame.                                                         .           Your memory is my keepsake                                                                                  .                      with which I’ll never part.                                                                             .            God has you in His keeping.                                                                                                                                                                                                .                      I have you in my heart.
