TOO SOON

A kiss on a child's skinned knee,

plus the safety of your caring arms.

Kind words for a bruised teen heart,

with your mixture of wisdom and love,

and goodness so plain to be seen.

Didn't you know that when you left us,

I still had so many lessons to be learned.

We miss you each morning, and also each night,

much more than you could ever know.

So please look down on me each day,

and know that you're the angel of my heart.
