I know you're not here beside me,
But in my heart is where you'll live.
I will never be able to thank you,
For everything you did.
You lighted up my life,
Like, no one ever could.
You made me laugh and smile,
Just like a parent should.
You made me feel warm,
On a cold December day.
You made me feel complete,
In your own peculiar way.
I miss you more than anything,
Every moment of every day.
But at least I have a piece of you,
Because in my heart you'll stay.
