I miss you John
I miss you everyday

I understand it was your time to go
I realize it was my time to grow
But in your absence there is a void
I cannot fill and become annoyed.

I get along most days just fine
You always said my life should shine
But every now and then the tears will flow
The sobbing starts as if I didn't know

Your chair sits empty, your cup unused
My thoughts begin to wander and I become amused
I think of all the laughter, of all the good times
With a tear on my face, I fear I must be losing my mind.

With all these words I can't help but ask
Am I strong enough yet for this daunting task
For if it's really better to have loved and lost
Does it ever really matter what the cost?

So as the tears begin to slow and ease the aching in my heart
As I gaze upon your picture and understand you are a part
Of my life, of my journey, you shall always be
The strength and the light which are guiding me.
