A Little Part Of You

 

​

Although you are gone my darling,

I will often see your face,

Sometimes that face is dirty,

in fact a real disgrace,

It may be only three years old,

or perhaps its thirty two,

I only have to look around,

in offspring, I see you.

​

Although you are gone my darling,

I still can feel your love,

I feel it in our children,

our gifts from heaven above,

In our children's children,

in the special things they do,

Everything about them,

reminds me, dear, of you.

​

Although you are gone my darling,

I will never be alone,

You left behind so much of you,

I am never on my own,

In the timbre of our son's voice,

I almost hear you talking,

I can see you in a single stride,

Yes! I can see you walking.

 

In everything they do, there is a little part of you.
