Because

Because you can’t be here today



Because you fought so hard



Because you were so loved



Because you were always positive



Because there was nothing that could stop you



Because all your short life you never gave up



Even if I can’t see you



I know you’re with me



Sometimes when I get really sad



I just talk to you as if you’re there



But really you are



In my mind



And in my heart



I know I can’t really say how long I will wish



But I know no matter what I will have a hand to lend



And that you will forever be my friend
