GONE TOO SOON Claire, we weren’t prepared for you to go You were too full of life to be Taken away from us so soon It’s still hard to believe How much we’ll miss your smile And your laughter in our ears Your absence leaves a hole in us We’re filling with our tears You taught us how to be our best To in the moment live To never hold a grudge for long And loyal friendship give Your presence was a light and joy We never realized would someday end Just like the brilliant falling star That curved ‘round heaven’s bend And though we cannot understand The reasons God took you now We’ll do our best to accept this loss To carry on somehow Claire, we can’t bear to say goodbye But you wouldn’t want us mourning in distress So we’ll smile through these falling tears Counting our time with you quite blessed We will remember you forever For you, our hearts will always have room We loved you more than you will ever know You left us way too soon! Darling Claire, a year ago today we finally said our goodbyes to you…. What a hard day that was. The sun is shining today and I’m smiling, as I think of you. Until we meet again my love, you are always in my thoughts xxxxxxxx Jacky x
