I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. 

I though about you yesterday and the days before that too. 

I think of you in silence. I often speak your name. 

All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. 

Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part. 

God as you in His keeping... I have you in my heart.
