I have this pain in my heart
A pain that is as fresh as
That fateful, dreadful day
The days march on
But in my heart
You are never gone
The tears well up
In my eyes
And I can see your eyes too
The eyes of a mother
The eyes of a daughter
The eyes of my niece
The eyes of someone whose
Life has been cut short
I can never forget
Because I don’t want to
In my heart, you’ll always be
As I carry you with me
Each and every day.
