Let's not count the miles in between, they're not what matters most.
Let us recall the joys we've shared, those thoughts will keep us close.
Let us fill our minds with thoughts, of memories held dear,
And the miles in between us will just seem to disappear.
love as always Alison

ROBERT;
We never understand such heartache
Until it comes to our door
The grief we feel since losing you
Will be with us forever more.
love as always Alison ;

If We Could Bring You Back Again
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.
love Alison
