So full of life

So full of life,
so much to give,
Taken too soon,
left a gap so big,
In the hearts of those that you left behind.
We try to remember the happier times,
Try to hold back the tears,
without much success,
Your love and your laughter
will surely be missed.
I know that you would not want us to wallow,
In our self pity, consumed with our sorrow,
In time we will smile at memories of you
But for now we will grieve,
maybe place blame too,
The love in our hearts will try to forgive,
The pain, it will fade, as our lives we live,
But for me,
there will always remain,
A space in my heart,
engraved with your name.
