Never, EVER

I hope you know how much you meant to me.

I've loved you ever since I've known you.

I appreciated all the things you've done for me.

You always had a smile on your face.

You were always so friendly, so happy,

   till that one awful day.

Life's pressures got too much for you.

You must have thought

   life wasn't worth living anymore.

As time went by, you got weaker and weaker.

Now, you're in Heaven

   with our family and friends that have gone before you.

I know you're finally at peace.

I am crying because I will miss you terribly.

But I am also smiling,

   because I believe you found your happiness again.

I will never, EVER forget you...

P.S. This is for one of my favorite Aunts, "'ta Ever". You will forever be in my heart...

Pictured here are my Dad, Mr. Virgilio "Ver" V. Layco, Sr. and my youngest sister, Karen Layco Mitchell. Sadly, we lost them on Dec. 2011. Losing them both suddenly, one week apart, was so overwhelming that I needed something to release the pain I am feeling. I started writing my poems to express the sadness I've felt since they passed away. I hope you find some comfort and encouragement in reading them. *** Marizel Layco Beck ***
