Elsie

I know you are with me when it dangles around my neck
It is like you are walking beside me once again
I can almost feel your fragile hands as if I was holding them tight,
I wish to see you for just one more day.

I know you are with me when I feel the clasp close
It’s like I'm being hugged by you once again
When the clasp is closed, I know you are watching over me
And I will forever be your darling heart.

I know you are with me when I hold it in my hands
When I hold the chain, I remember the last night I saw you
Old and frail like your hands as I held them that night
And the charm is like your heart, it is made of gold.

I know you are with me when I look at the charm,
When I look at the charm I see not just saint Christopher but I see your face.
I see all the time we spent together and all the laughs we sheared
We had a bond as strong as steel that I miss with all my heart.

I know you are with me whenever I think about it,
I remember you
And I think of what life would still be like if you were still here
I will always love you and my love for you could never be broken.
