A lifetime of love

I struggled with what I would tell you because there’s so many things I'd thought of

How will I ever complete this tall task, to sum up a lifetime of love?

I’ve been blessed with family and friends, whose love has filled up my heart

So, it wasn’t this journey I’d been struggling with, it’s the thought of us being apart

But I know God has a reason to bring each one of us near

Even if we don’t understand it, faith tells me there’s nothing to fear

I’ve been reminiscing family moments, the time went too fast then they’re grown.

The memories we parents cherish when wandering our homes all alone

I want to tell you from the view of a spouse, parent, grandparent, and a friend

The hardest part of leaving this life, is the pain loved ones feel at the end

I had this wonderful life I was blessed with and if I could do it all over again

Despite many mistakes, I wouldn’t change a thing, because who would I have been then?

I’m lucky to have a family and wonderful friends who have been there for me

And God bless you all, I’ll be waiting for you, but until then, I hope you’ll see

I’ve got your back if you find a penny laying tails up somewhere on the ground

But heads up means, I’m watching over you now, my hope’s you’ll know that I’m still around

Maybe I made this all up, just to give you something to do

Maybe not, we’ll wait ‘til we meet again, so, look for pennies, remembering, I love you!
