STRAW Shirley A year ago you left us, you never said goodbyes Everyday our time without you, brings tears to all our eyes We find it hard without you but we strive to live our lives We thought we'd cry our final tears, still heartache cuts like knives. But our memories of you still bring a joy to our daily life Of a wonderful loving mother and a dear devoted wife. Some day we will be together but till then we'll not despair With strong hearts in our family and the love that you left there!
