Samuel David Coates (Tenny) Tribute

I Thought Of You

I thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,
and the day befor that too.
I think of you in silence,
I often say your name,
But all I have is memories and
your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake,
with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,
I have you in my heart.
I shed tears for what might have been,
a million times I've cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
in death I love you still,
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
but you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
the day God took you home.
