In Memories

You lived your life 

Doing the things you loved

Surrounded by the ones you loved

Your passion and devotion 

Was not limited to your loved ones

But also to the children you taught 

You liked things neat and clean

And in its proper place

And if it they were not

Then it would upset you

Your life seemed fulfilled 

But then the fates had other plans

A discovery shook you

But your faith and devotion

Made you strong 

So you decided to fight on

You believed and hoped for a miracle

And That kept you going on

So days went by

And the disease took its toll

It may have broken your body

It didn't break your soul

Your pain was great

Beyond compare

But you never did let it 

Put you down

You fought valiantly

Till the very end

Though you may have questioned

You remained strong

And so God rewarded you

With an eternal rest

And now that you're gone

We do miss your presence

But we know that 

Where ever you may be

You're looking down at us

Watching over us 

Our angel in heaven

The void of your absence

Is filled with the memories

Which you made

Throughout your life

Through the lives you've touched

Who forever will remain grateful

For having you as their

Teacher, friend and guide

And though you may have gone 

To place in the great beyond

You continue to be with us forever

In our memories

And in our mind and heart

Forever there is where you'll be

Gone but never forgotten
