I will

I have lived long enough to feel happy
But short enough to taste tears
I find no excuse to not be grateful for what I am now
Although you're here with me today
I miss our trio running down the street
I miss the laughter, all the sweaty things we've ever done
I miss your touches on my face and kisses on my eyes
I miss your hug whenever you came home
I miss every lesson you gave me with all your heart
I miss all the happiness you always shared with me
And how we always spend time together
And what you did when I felt sad
And how you encouraged me when I felt small
And how blessed I felt that time
Although I miss those things
There's nothing to be done
You're here with me today
And that leaves me with no excuse to be grateful
And someday when you are gone
I won't have a clue about how I will keep moving on
But if you want me to
I will
