In Our Hearts
We thought of you 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.
Now all we have are memories
And your 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.
We love you more than words can say.
We’re heartbroken and sad.
God gave us all His very best
Husband, Grandpa, and Dad.
