One year ago you were still here with me

Now you are in heaven looking down to see

I am fighting this fight of grieving inside

It's exhausting hiding it and having to smile

I stand tall and hide my frown

For the world to think I am wearing my crown

I take a deep breath and look up to the sky

I am hoping to still be the apple of your eye

Even though you are no longer on this earth

I still keep your thoughts and memories 

for what they are worth
