A-Poem For Mia


We thought of you with love today,

But that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday, and

Days before that too.

We think of you in silence, we often

Speak your name.

All we have are memories,

A picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake,

With which we’ll never part.

God has you in his keeping,

We have you in our hearts.
