If love alone could have spared you, you never would have died. If all the world was ours to give, we would give it and even more To see you getting out of your truck and walking through our door. To hear your voice, to see your smile, to set and talk wtih you awhile, To be with you each and everyday, would be our greatest wish today. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best, And left us precious memories of you, until we are laid to rest.
