Sometimes I miss You so much
How I long to see your face
to have you here, to share my joy
my precious family
I want you to see
the joyous times
a tenderness we share, that spans the years
how I long to have you in my home
a space I would make for you

we dreampt of a future
where we would laugh together
and you would see your grandchildren grow
your knowledge and love could compliment my own
how i wanted you to reach a peace in your life
when we would share and I could care for you
U , who was always being strong
fighting the world
perhaps the world won 
and claimed you for a prize
