"To lose someone so special

is really hard to bear,

it hardly seems believable

that you are no longer there.

You left us for too early,

before your time it seems

and now you will never have the chance

to fulfil all of your dreams.

However hard it is though,

we will take comfort in the thought,

of all the memories that we have

and the happiness you brought.

You always lived life to the fullest

but ours will never be the same

until the day we can see

your smiling face again"
