For my Uncle
I have so many memories of times we spent together,
And even though you’re no longer here, I’ll cherish them forever.
I miss your laughter so much and the mischief in your smile.
When I feel the sadness welling up I remember it a while.
For though you are no longer here, you’ll never be truly gone.
So long as I have these memories, your spirit will carry on.
So until I see your smile again, I’ll hold you in my heart and mind.
A shining example, my uncle of the best of humankind.
love always, Maria xxx
