For Liz

On the verge of tears

We sit and speak your name

Love and Joy flowed from your presence

And still it circles us in this absence

No way to put these emotions into words

No way to settle this overflowing

Time were left with as it's been taken from you

Somehow I know a greater gift has been given

Houses of Stone surrounded by wings

We hear your horns blow and instantly know

You are still with us and will always be

Life and Death two sides of one coin

Each day we toss it into the skies

Until the day it lands on the other side

These memories so sweet

That confident look in her eyes

As constant as the star she followed

As beautiful as the smile she echoed

You will be missed until the day we join you

Sunflower, Heart child

You blessed each and every one of our lives
