Malinda Ann Hensley

If tears could build a stairway, 

and memories a lane.

We would walk right up to Heaven

and bring you back again.

 

No farewell words were spoken,

No time to say "Goodbye".

You were gone before we knew it,

and only God knows why.

 

Our heart still aches with sadness,

And secret tears still flow.

What it meant to lose you,

No one can ever know.

 

Each time we look...
