I THINK OF ALL THAT YOU MEANT TO ME

I think of all that you meant to me

And regret that I took for granted

That for me, there, you’d always be.

Yet I’m thankful for the seeds you planted.



I regret that I took for granted

the love you showed your family;

Yet I’m thankful for the seeds you planted

In my heart that have grown into the man that is now me.



the love you showed your family

was unconditional, and forgiving.  It lives

In my heart and is growing into the man I need to be.

Warmth, to my heart, your memory gives.



Your love was unconditional, and forgiving.  It lives

On now in our hearts, as we await the day we see you in Heaven.

Warmth, to my heart, your memory gives

For your memory is my safe haven.



I await the day I will see you in Heaven

And can thank you for the seeds you planted.

For, now  your memory remains my safe haven,

Yet I regret that I took you for granted.
