In Loving Memory of “our girl” Tessie
March 17, 1996 – February 11, 2004
You left me today.
We said our goodbyes,
And you went down the road alone.
I watched you till you went round the bend,
And I could see you no more.
You left me today.
I didn’t know it would hurt so bad.
Now I am here alone,
I have only my tears to comfort me.
And I can see you no more.
You left me today.
After all the years we spent together,
I am left to continue this journey alone.
But oh my friend, how will I make my way?
I can see you no more.
You left me today.
I felt that my heart had been shattered.
But when you said you must go,
I could not bear to make you stay.
I can see you no more.
You left me today,
With promises of meeting again.
How will I live till then my friend,
How will I go on now?
I can see you no more.
You left me today.
I held you to the very last and beyond.
I kissed you and hugged you close to me
And then I had to let you go.
I can see you no more.
You left me today.
You left behind the memories
Of a life well lived and well loved.
You couldn’t stay, you had given all you had.
I can see you no more.
You left me today.
I am beyond comfort in my grief.
Someday down the road,
I will celebrate your life, though
I can see you no more.
Thank you, Tessie for the wonder of your life with us.
