They're Older Now


They’re older now. 
The time has sped past, and life has pushed forward, and things have changed.
You’re still gone, and we still miss you. 

They’re older now.
All  you’ve missed, the birthdays, the holidays, the bumps & bruises, the triumphs & tragedies – always “present” but not quite “there”.
Noticeably, you’re still gone, and we still miss you. 

You’re still gone and we all still miss you. 
There are times when you are very present in what we do and who we are, and moments when we think, gee ya know Sparky would have ….
But you’re still gone, and we still miss you.

They’re older now.
And getting older by the minute, him longer and leaner, every bit a little you.
She’s taller and wiser, and more feisty each day that goes by – but you knew that was coming.
And yet, you’re still gone, and we still miss you.

We’re all older now.
All of us have aged, more it seems in the last two years than ever before.  Change is inevitable, and the grays will come –I know you’re laughing about those!
Except you of course - all eternity as the young, handsome, vital spark (pun intended) that you were when you left. 
And you’re still gone, and we will always miss you.

Love
Me
