13 Years Without You

It's unbelievable that 13 years from today
You left us so suddenly, on that dreadful summer day

It's been so long since I've seen your face
The pain that lingers in my heart and soul is only soothed by God's grace

As we painted the walls in your bedroom this week
Which we've avoided for 13 years...it seemed so bleak

We painted it and your baby sister moved in
And oh the glow on her face and her proud and excited grin

I know that you would love it because that's just your heart
You were always a sweet and loving child, right from the very start

I know you're with Jesus in a beautiful place
But I still long for the day I will, again, see your face

To hear you say I love you mama and then I'd say it too
Just to hear your voice again...oh if you only knew

Until that day, I will try to appreciate the time we had
And pray daily for God's comfort to help me when I'm sad

I love you my precious girl...Love Always & Forever, Mama?
