Poem of Dedication
You didn't give me a last farewell, nor even said good-bye.
You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.
A million times I will miss you, A million times I will cry.
If love alone could have saved you, you wouldn't have had to die,
In life I loved you dearly.
In death I love you still, in my heart you hold a special place,
no one else can fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone,
for part of me went with you, the day God called you home.
I will meet you again someday
I know in a better place.
I thank God, He made You My Lover
While you were here on earth.
Love your soul mate, Karla
