Thoughts of Jim

All my yesterdays and tomorrows,
You filled up with your love
And now you’ve gone to heaven,
To live with God above.

The joy I feel within me,
From a love too great to hold,
Turns the colors of my world,
From drab to solid gold.

It’s not that I won’t miss you,
I’ll miss you every day
But the gift of love you gave me,
Will help me on the way

Every fish that’s in the ocean,
Every bird up in the sky,
All my summers and my winters,
The laughter and tears I cry

You are standing by my side,
And there you’ll stand forever
From God’s heaven till I die
Your love will leave me never

Then, my love, I shall join you,
And we’ll celebrate anew
All the love and life and giving,
That was me and that was you.

D. Tytler
