Influence

The one responsible for my perspective

Who showed me what it means to live 

With you around the calendar was full

With you, living was certainly never dull !

Never ever letting any time slip away

In my heart you are guaranteed to stay ! 

You were responsible for such happiness

To your loving ways many were witness

To everyone you gave so much of yourself

Even when you were suffering failing health

Now you have gone I cherish the memories

To recall all you did for others sure to please

Realizing that I will always miss you as I do 

I am still grateful that I shared my life with you !
