When I come to meet and see you

It’s like being refreshed by morning dew

Then I see that loving smile

Makes me want to stay awhile

People like you make the world so bright

Making our visit, spiritual and out of sight

Heartfelt blessings comes to wish you God’s best

As you approach life’s journey and all the rest

Know in my heart, memories of you remain

Knowing you, I will be forever change

Because you make the difference, like day and night

My friend, near or far, we will always be tight

This will forever remain, neither death can change

For in my heart, memories and joys forever reign.
