20 years

You've been gone almost as long

As you were on this earth.

I wish you could have seen your value,

Would have seen your worth.

Twenty years have come and flown

Without your presence here,

But not a single day goes by

Without your memory near.

I wish you'd not forgotten

All the hope Life has in store.

I'd give up so very much

To see you just once more.

But I know that will happen,

If patient I can be.

We'll walk the streets of Heaven;

Talk beside the crystal sea.
