Lawrence B. Smyers, Jr.

In memory of my loving husband Lawrence B. Smyers, Jr., who passed away

two years ago September 6, 2006.

Time passes by so slowly

When someone you love is gone.

Our hearts keep aching

As the clock of life ticks on.

If I could have a lifetime wish

a dream that would come true

I'd pray for God with all my heart

for yesterday and you.

A thousand words can't bring you back

I know because I've tried

and neither will a million tears

I know because I've cried.

You left behind my broken heart

and happy memories too

I never wanted memories...

I only wanted you.

If only I could see your smile

To sit with you and talk awhile

Of things we used to say and do

I miss it all and I miss you

Years may wipe out many things

But this they wipe out never

The memory of those happy days

When we were together.
