“To My Loving Husband In Heaven”

“Our time together was special, so were the memories we made,

And although you live in Heaven, now, those memories never fade.

I bow my head in silence and remember my husband with love,

And I know that you are up there watching from above.

Every day’s a struggle and nothing feels the same.

And my heart breaks a little more, every time I hear your name.

You’ll always be remembered, and time may heal my heart,

But a piece of me is missing, since the day we had to part.

If Heaven is for angels, then I know that’s where you’ll be,

One day we’ll be reunited, and you’ll be there to welcome me.”

• Your loving wife, Cynthia
