Vicki

Some may not remember,
or want to try too hard to forget
Her beautiful smile, shining face
but for me, this I will never let

She still is as much a part of me
as before she was taken away
I can see her face, hear her voice
as if it were yesterday

She was my role model and my teacher
she molded me into the lady that I am
And the day she was stolen away from me
my life, it has never been the same

The hurt and sadness I felt back then
I still carry with me everyday
Nothing will ever make me forget
no matter what others do or say

It may be easy for them to go on
to push Vicki out of their minds
They are not me or were as close,
do not have the loving ties that bind

Sometimes I want to shout and scream
ask why, how could he hurt me this way
He took away a major part of my life,
part of my heart he also took that day,

Vicki I know is an angel
watching down and saying "do not cry,
I am happy and healthy up in Heaven
guarding you from my home in the sky"

Sometimes I can almost feel her,
hear her voice, see her face, see her smile
Watching over me and protecting
as she did when I was a child

We were much more closer then just sisters
she was my mentor, my mother, my friend
And although I know she is in heaven
this hurt that I live with won't end

~~~~~~~~~~~

I love you Vicki and I miss you
from the bottom of my heart
These past five years seem forever
such a long time to be apart

One day we will be together
and I will hold you close to me
The events that took you away on Earth
in Heaven will no longer be

United we will be for eternity
and all sadness we will forget
Only happiness, love and togetherness
no pain in Heaven, the Lord will He let

I must hold on and remember
and smile when I think of you
One day all my clouds of darkness
will turn to rainbows and skies of blue
