Six Months
Exactly six months ago today
We gathered here in a very different way
Our hearts were broken and the pain was raw
As we questioned your final act of all
Our focus today is not just missing you
But celebrating your life in your years too few
Our thoughts on memories of love and fun
And remembering things with you we had done
We’ll speak our memories and maybe a prayer
As we come together with your life to share
Balloons with messages released to float up high
We’ll watch them disappear into the blue sky
Sending our messages in the sky above
Family and friends are here with love
Forever we are with you in our hearts
Even though physically we are apart
Our memories may take us to more pleasant places
Dislodging the pain of the heart-broken spaces
Today as we are here to remember you
Together with love and friendship as we do
Sixteen years in our lives and hearts do we cherish
May the good times not be forgotten or perish
The heartbreak is overwhelming at times
But if we look we can see the signs
From rainbows, to butterflies and shooting stars
Your love is being recognized from afar
One day we’ll be with you once again
But for now our we are with your family and friends
We are here today to celebrate the life of Wayne
And to share the treasures that we gained
Remembering him as a special person in our lives
We’ll never need to say a final good-bye
We love you Wayne.
