For All the Time We Had

We wish we'd had more birthdays,
more stories left to tell,
more ordinary mornings,
more kisses and farewells.

We wish we'd watched you growing,
seen all you might become,
heard your laughter fill the rooms
and watched the years roll on.

There are no words that make it right,
no reason we can find,
for losing someone loved so much
and leaving dreams behind.

But every precious moment
that we were blessed to share
is wrapped around our hearts now,
and you will always be there.

For love is never measured
by the years that someone stays.
You were ours, and we were yours,
for all your beautiful days.

And though we wanted more with you,
more memories still to make,
we'll treasure all the time we had
with every breath we take.
