In Loving Memory of My Daughter
Cassie Lyn Garcia
Three years have passed, but a father’s love never fades. I wrote these words for you, sweetheart, and for every parent who knows the heartache of missing a child.

Another Year
Another year has come and gone,
Yet somehow you’re still here,
In thoughts that find me now and then,
And in a silent tear.
I see you in your children’s smiles,
Sometimes in things they do,
And as I watch them growing up,
I wish you were here, too.
I’ve learned to laugh, I’ve learned to smile,
Though some days I fall apart,
For time may teach me how to live,
But can’t heal my broken heart.
And when my time on earth is through,
I pray that I will see
The precious child I loved so much
Come running back to me.
