Forever Young

An original Words with Wishes verse

There should have been more birthdays,
More adventures still to come,
More photographs and memories,
More days beneath the sun.

There should have been a lifetime
For your hopes and dreams to grow,
So many roads to travel,
So many things to know.

We cannot understand why
Your time with us was brief,
Or find the words that ever could
Take meaning from our grief.

But you will live within us,
In everything we do,
Forever loved, forever missed,
Forever young — forever you.
