A New Year

In 2007 you went to heaven,

Now it is 2009,

Where is the time?

I cried when the new year came,

For nothing was the same,

Without you here it felt so wrong,

To have time move along.

There was the fear,

That with each new year,

Your memory might fade,

 Taking us further away,

Crazy, I know, because where could you go?

You are always here with me,

In every single breath I breathe.

It doesn't matter how much time passes,

Or what year it is,

Because love never disappears;

So march on, time, you can never erase,

The cherished moments forever embraced;

Deeply embedded within our hearts,

Neither time nor distance can ever part.
