YOU ARE MY LIFE

Without you there would be nothing.

You are my whole world.

Thoughts of you come with my every breath.

You are my life.

You came into my life and gave it meaning.

You took over my heart.

Your love is all I live for.

You are my life.

The pride in your eyes gives me a reason to try.

The love in your heart gives me reason to live.

You are the only reason I get up in the morning.

You are my life.

You have always been there for me.

Though I’ve severely tested it,

Your love has never wavered.

You are my life.

Thank you for always being there,

I need you.

I love you.

You are my life.

RAVEN

From the day he came into our home,
He was part of our family.
He was our closest friend.
He was such a special part of our lives.

We never had to question his love.
Nor did he ever question ours.
When we laughed, he was happy.
When we were sad, he tried to comfort us.
He was such a special part of our lives.

When we had been away from home,
He made sure we knew we had been missed.
He was never in a bad mood in all those years.
If we were in a bad mood, he lovingly tried to brighten it.
He was such a special part of our lives.

He had to leave us recently, never to return.
Why now, we’ll never understand.
We hope he is at peace in the place he has gone.
We pray the emptiness in our hearts will heal.
He was such a special part of our lives.
