You're Never Far Away

Tears stream down our faces when thinking of you. A tear for the sorrow that we're feeling now that you're gone and no longer here for us to tell you that we Love you and to hear you say "I Love You Too" and that beautiful smile that was always there. A tear for the Joy that we feel knowing "You're Free". Our bodies feel weak but only for a short time for that's when we think of the strength that was within you and it becomes Our strength. That's when we know you're never far away. Tears will continue to stream down our faces when thinking of you and we know in our Hearts that you're Never Far Away.
