Your Smile
Though your smile is gone forever
And your hand we cannot touch,
Still we have so many memories
Of the one we loved so much.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part,
God has you in His keeping,
And we have you in our hearts.
It is sad to walk the road alone
Instead of side by side,
But to all there comes a moment,
When the ways of life divide.
You gave us years of happiness
Then came sorrow and tears,
But you left us beautiful memories
We will treasure through the years.
May you rest in peace eternally, Hosea.
We love you, but God loved you more.
