We miss you for the smiles you gave us
we miss you for your caring ways
and the words of comfort
you were always there to say
You had an aura about you
that everybody knew
and no party was as lively without you
as you walked into the gloom
we all felt the change in mood
and a sense of utter happiness
seemed to flow into the room
your love of life enveloped us
in an ambiance of joy
and people flocked to talk to you
like moths to a brillant glow
now the world appears much dimmer
there is emptiness and darkness
where you were
no one else can light it with a smile
and brighten our soul
no one here to guide us thru
no more words of hope and comfort
no more looks of love from you
no more rays of sunshine
as you walked our way and made us whole
you were all those things and more
