In loving memory of Rhonda “Boo” Mottern, two years ago, January 7th.

If tears could build a stairway

And memories a lane,

I would walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken,

No time to say “goodbye”

You were gone before I knew it

And only God knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow.

What it meant to lose you

No one can ever know.

But now I know you want me to mourn for you no more.

To remember all the happy times

Life still has much in store.

Since you will never be forgotten

I pledge to you today

A hollowed place within my heart is where you will always stay.
