This was sent to me by a dear friend on the Anniversary of Allan’s passing Some Days They tell me life’s a journey That will take me many years Some days are filled with laughter And some days are filled with tears. Some days I think my heart will break That I can’t persevere Some days I have to don a mask And hide ‘neath it’s veneer Some days I turn and look for you With thoughts I’d like to share Some days I just can’t understand The reason you’re not there. Some days the sadness leaves me And my smile will reappear Some days I close my eyes because Your memory is so clear Some days I struggle to go on Just wishing you were near Most days I spend in gratitude That you were ever here.
