You gave us everything you had,
And now, all I can do is hope
You knew the impact that you made
And just how much you shaped us all
For betterment. I know that we
Are not demonstrative – not much –
And that we are not prone to tears
Or words of cheer – or even touch –
But please, please know where e’er you are,
(Though sentiment seems dangerous)
That you were truly, deeply loved
And that we know how much that you
Loved us
