7 years ago, my heart still broken
finding comfort in faith and words unspoken
On April 26, 2009 you never fully left me Rye
Our souls connected on that day I had to say goodbye
As hard as it’s been to make sense of it all
You’ve held my hand lifting me up as I fall
You always whisper beautiful words in my ears
Then I smile and look to the heaven with tears
Your words encourage me to understand
That you left me at 18 as part of a plan
We hold onto memories we share from our heart
But the greatest gift you gave me sets us apart
It’s the gift of PURPOSE that has given me hope
A reason to embrace life and teach me to cope
Our foundation provided me strength and renewed passion in me
A new lens into our world with possibilities I can now see
To find PURPOSE is far bigger than ourselves I now know
It is part of life’s journey helping our family to grow
I am grateful to unravel my greatest gift ever
As I continue to honor you with this critical endeavor
With heavy heart and endless love on this angel year 7
Keep holding my hand Riley Roo…until we meet again in heaven.
