I know we had our hard times, But we always made it through, Even when times were at their worst, I Knew that I Had you, We didn’t have the finer things, That money could afford, But we always had a special bond, That was worth so much more, You were my warmth, my hope, my light, My sunshine and my rain, I’ve brought your smiles and tears with me, to this place that knows no pain, Please have no doubts, no regrets, You were my heart and soul, My life was full and happy, You all made me whole, I’m sorry I had to leave you, But please don’t hurt for me, I still watch over all of you, And finally...I’m at peace,
