For Lexi's Contest
Reflections of yesterday cannot be returned,
moments I couldn’t save, seemingly burned.
If I could turn back the hands of time,
I’d make every minute count, each one sublime.

If I could make wishes come true,
I would spend every waking minute with you.
I will never forget all that you gave.
How I yearn for the moments I couldn’t save!

Sometimes I get angry because God took you from me,
until summoning my faith and realizing it was meant to be.
Those moments I couldn’t save still reside in my heart,
and I know that we are never truly apart.

I will not lie by saying I do not still feel empty within,
that the moments I couldn’t save could be relived again.
I know you’re sitting in Heaven waiting for me,
that one day I’ll be beside you with you holding me.
