Here in Our Hearts

(by Amy Finley)

“Our hearts grieve

Our tears fall

Our arms are empty

Without you here

The thoughts swirl

Our souls ache

The world seems so lonely

With the loss so near

The memories whisper

in the sorrow

Comforting our hearts

Reminding us of your love, so clear.

You were a mother who gave

Who always stood strong

Meant the world to so many

Was so incredible dear

All our minds cherish you

We honor your memory

Our love will always remain

And in our hearts, you’re still here.”
