WHEN I LOOKED OUT OVER THE PATIO TONIGHT
'-i'
I NOTICED A SINGLE STAR,
With fog so dense you couldn't see the moon,
j I NEW IT COULD ONLY BE YOU.
I STARED^AT YOU FOR A WHILE HOPING FOR A REASON
Then realized at that very moment that you
WERENT GONE AT ALL
In factyou are and always will be alive in our
HEARTS AND MEMORIES
Your love is strong Carl.
RONG IN FACT THAT IT HAS BURNED
4 A HOLE IN THE FOG, AT THE LIGHT OF YOU CAN KEEP US WARM
AND PROTECTED AT NIGHT.
ThougpMktght SHALL FADE AND DAY SHALL COME,
I KNOW TjpAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE ABANDONED ME,
YOui\RE For
NOW my shadow that guides and
\
PROTECTS MY DAY,
I KNOW NO1 THAT I SHALL NEVER WALK ALONE AGAIN
For you n^tll always be there holding my hand.
t
One ^tfOULD NOT THINK to ever hurt me,
For they v|ll see my Father/Husband at my side
And know that a man of great stature and
POWER PROTECTS ME
jl WILL SLEEP EASY TONIGHT,
Knowing that you are there beside me,
When I fuel that extra bit of warmth and
,
SECURITY AT NIGHT,
I KNOW IT IS BUT YOUR ARMS WRAPPED AROUND ME
I am Never Alone, And You
Are Never Forgotten.
