I remember a time when your smile was fading
A time when life was being drained from you
When you existed even though you were dying
A time when you’re fighting spirit shone through
A time when your resilience was revealed
Through your sacrifice you showed us love
Showed us through your faith that life should be lived
That life was truly a gift from up above
A time when we only knew that you where there
Through thick and thin your presence would never disappear
Pain still flows through my veins
When the thought of you slowly vanishing flows though my brain
Every moment is a sign that you are a gift
And that every moment I can say I love you I should treasure
You taught me that in life for the ones you love you should fight
And your love for us I cannot truly measure
Day by day I am grateful for your presence
And your undying embrace
I pray that God may grant you life
For mine would cease to exist if your smile would be gone from it
