Time is a great healer or so they say
So why do I miss you so much every single day
Your hair, your smile, that twinkle in your eye
It’s hard to believe a whole year has gone by
My heart still aches and the tears still flow
It’s so hard to accept it was your time to go
The memories and the photos do give some relief
From that overwhelming state called grief
I get through each day trying to live a normal life
A mother, a sister, a daughter and a wife
But the guilt is still there, could I have done more
Before I left your flat and closed the door
This day is harder than most and that ache won’t go away
Some days are easier than others but that day is not today
But today is for remembering a life lived to the full
The world goes on turning but is a little more dull
There is not a day goes by when you are not missed
My beautiful Katie, my little sis
