Louise V. Hetrick

Nine years past since you went home,

Seems like yesterday

We were left alone

We hold the memories

In our minds

Peace and happiness

We can’t find

Life is empty

Without you near

We hold your picture

So very near

God needed you

We know it’s true

It just makes us

Sad and blue

Life is hard

Without you Mother

Guess we need to

Love each other

You left behind

Your lessons of hope

We can only now

Learn to cope

God will help

And get us through

He will guide us

Make us new

We’ll meet again

In Heaven they say

What a wonderful, glorious

Great reunion day

Life goes on

So they say

We’ll love you more

Each passing day
