Second Easter since you went away

The second Easter since you went away came today
There was the basket of goodies for your brother, David
But an empty place where I used to put one for you and Jeff

The joy of the resurrection of our Blessed Lord
and the sadness in our heart for your empty place here
such conflicting emotions on a day that should be all joy

I visit your grave, yet I know you aren't there
You are dancing on the streets of gold
Free from the cares of life that we now know

The second Easter has come and gone
You were not here, but free with Him who loved us all so
One day, sweet girl, one day
We'll all be together again

Until then
our love remains constant for you, dear child.

Love,
Mama, Daddy, and David
