Staring at the stars,
I see you there,
In all the passing cars,
I see you there.

I know you didn’t choose,
To leave me alone in this world,
I didn’t know what I had to loose,
Until it was taken from me,
Now I’m paying my dues,
As the pain sinks into me.

Then a smile crosses my face,
As the happiness returns,
It takes me to a peaceful place,
Where your memory dwells with me,
As for the pain, no longer a trace.

Your presence through life will always be,
You’ll always be in my heart,
And with you there any problem that I see,
Will show me no resistance,
And the grey skies of worry will flea.

I need to give thanks,
For the strength that you give,
And for all the lengths,
Your spirit does go,
For you being here I need to give thanks.

Looking back on the times,
That have past me by,
I see so many missed things,
But to make amends, why try?

All of our pasts,
Have a common trait,
To teach us to look forward,
Not to leave our lives to fate.

Each of us controls our own,
We make ourselves what we are,
You need not cross great waters,
Nor look to lands a far.

What we are is deep within,
What we are is something inside,
It may be hard to find,
But it is even harder to hide.

Look inside your own soul,
To the question of life at hand,
And you’ll find the answers as abundant,
As all the grains of sand.
