To honour you

To honour you, I get up every day and take a breath.
And start another day without you in it.

To honour you, I laugh and love with those who knew your smile
And the way your eyes twinkled with mischief and secret knowledge.

To honour you, I take the time to appreciate everyone I love.
I know now there is no guarantee of days or hours spent in their presence.

To honour you, I listen to music you would have liked,
And sing at the top of my lungs, with the windows rolled down.

To honour you, I take chances, say what I feel, hold nothing back,
Risk making a fool of myself, dance every dance.

You were my light, my heart, my gift of love from the very highest source.
So every day I vow to make a difference, share a smile, live, laugh and love.
Now I live for both of us, so all I do, I do to honour you.
