In loving memory

of our father, William Beatty.

"WITHOUT YOU"You left us all ten years agoTo find our way through life without you.We promised we'd ALL take care of Mom —But still you're missed.It's been so long,So very long without you.Though you're love is constant, strong and true,We turn for advice but you're not there —We're left to carry on without you.Mom stood so lostSo broken and frailBut her faith would guide herWhen we were not enough.Now we put fresh flowers on your grave,But it's not the same,Never the same without you.You've seen the stars as you passed throughAnd Mom's found her way,Taken her place beside you.Together again, a songs rhythm and rhymeHolding on to a love that is half as old as time...And so sadly missed by all you've left behind.
