The Day God Took You Home

A million times I've needed you,

A million times I've cried.

If love alone could have saved you, 

 you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly, 

In death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place, 

No one else can ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you 

but you didn't go alone. 

Part of me went with you, 

the day God took you home.
