I Used to Always Love April
By Kim Hodne

I used to always love April
The month you were born
You loved it too
The fifth day is special in my heartBut now it brings a special sorrow
You‘d be turning twenty-nine
I lost you at twenty -four
So young

I would love to meet you half way
Somewhere between Heaven and Earth
Just to see your warm smile
And get that bear hug

Just for a few moments
To ask if you are okay
To tell you how much I miss you
And I think about you all the time

I would ask if you are at peace
All the suffering gone
But I know the answer
You are in His hands

So please know I miss you
And long for you always
And know that I love you
And we will meet again
