My tears shed are absorbed in my bed,
due to thoughts of you, lingering, in my head.
I know you did not want to leave us behind,
but no one on earth has control of when it's their time.
I wish I could hear your voice once more,
I hope I make you smile like I did once before.
Before you accepted death's hand in eternity,
before I could tell you all that you mean to me.
I keep with me so many memories that we have made,
some that will stay in my heart and never fade.
Pictures capture a present moment that soon becomes the past,
but what makes every photo beautiful is that it makes that time last.
The camera beheld your beauty, greatest beyond measure,
but now it can never snap another photo of us together.
Not because I'll never see you again,
but because there are no cameras nor photos in heaven.
