Bruce,

The day you left and gained your wings

my heart just broke in two

I wish you could have stayed with me,

but heaven needed you

You left me with the memories,

and I love you dearly still

No matter how much time goes by,

you know I always will

You were a very special person

with kindness in your heart

And the love we have together grows strong now we're apart

I know I cannot bring you back,

although I wish it every day

But a piece of me went with you

the day you went away
