Villarreal vargas

I look at the pictures that sit on the shelf

And whisper a prayer of thanks to myself

Through the years of raising you, watching you grow

You showed me a love I was lucky to know

Villarreal Vargas, the pride of my heart

It’s hard to get used to us being apart

For so many years we were walking as one

Sharing the seasons beneath the same sun

But now in your absence, my heart feels so bare

An emptiness echoes when you are not there

I trust in the Lord and the plans He has made

But the ache of missing you just doesn't fade

You always had something so funny to say

A joke or a smile that could brighten the day

The sound of your laughter still rings in the hall

A beautiful blessing I love to recall

You carried a joy that was easy and free

And poured out that wonderful spirit on me

For so many years we were walking as one

Sharing the seasons beneath the same sun

But now in your absence, my heart feels so bare

An emptiness echoes when you are not there

I trust in the Lord and the plans He has made

But the ache of missing you just doesn't fade

I pray for your steps and wherever you go

May heaven’s deep peace be a grace that you know

Though distance is heavy and tears start to fall

The bond of our family outmeasures it all

I lift up my hands in the quiet and pray

And hold onto memories to get through the day

For so many years we were walking as one

Sharing the seasons beneath the same sun

But now in your absence, my heart feels so bare

An emptiness echoes when you are not there

I trust in the Lord and the plans He has made

Villarreal Vargas, my love will not fade
