Another Spring

Another spring is on its way
without you by our sides
another spring I can't believe
without you in our lives.

Of course you're with us
this we know
but its just not the same
as when we'd hug and kiss you
and call you by name.

We wish for things that cannot be
milestones in your life
senior prom and graduation
now bring tears and strife.

But it comforts us to know
your friends remember you
they'll carry on your legacy
in kind deeds that they do

So stay close by sweet Christopher
we need you don't you see
to give us hope someday again
together we will be.

with love always, aunt Karen
