For Melina

It’s not the same without you
As we wander ‘round this place
We no longer see you daily
And we miss your smiling face

For as you spent time with us
You soon became a part
Of this silly, playful family
Whose last name is still ‘ART.’

We share good times together
As we got to know you more
Our lives will never be the same
As they were before

And as we often think of you
And wonder how you are
Wishing we could see you
But your home, it is so far!

As many things have happened
In your life, without much show
My comfort is in Jesus
For He’s everywhere you go

As days are full and life is hard
May He be your Guide and Stay
Continue to live for Him
Each and every day!
