Happy 7th Anniversary Nana
Time flows relentless as a never ending stream, that has drawn us into this
unending dream, seven years of sorrow have come and gone, with each passing
moment it's still so hard to carry on. Each day we awake to the thought of you
first, arms reach to hold you in a blissfull burst, but all too quickly
reality overwhelmingly arrives and once again the tears of heartbreak reach
our tired eyes. So for now rest in heaven and wait for our anticipated glory,
when we are once again together in our joyful ending story.
