IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY OOM GEP

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY OOM GEP

God looked around his garden

And saw an empty space

Then he looked down here on earth

And saw your loving face

He put his arms around you

And lifted you to rest

His garden must be beautiful

Because He only picks the best

A million times I’ll miss you

A million times I’ll cry

If love 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 special place

No one could ever fill

It broke my heart to loose you

But you did not go alone

For a part of me went with you

The day God took you home.

I  thought of you with love today

But that is nothing new

I  thought about you yesterday

And days before that too!

I think of you in silence

I often speak your name

Now all  I have are memories

And your picture in a frame

Some may think you are forgotten

Though on earth you are no more

But in my memory you are with me

As you always were before

You left me beautiful memories

Your love is still my guide

And though I cannot see you

You are always at my side

Forgive me Lord, I’ll always weep

For the best uncle I loved, but could not keep

Your nephew in the Netherlands,

Koos de Graaf
