In Memory of Mr. Penning


With you, we were everything,

Without you, life goes on.

Although the voids are hard to fill

as days melt into one.

We never see your smiling face

or hear your friendly call.

We never see you wave to us

as we walk down the hall.

Your presence overwhelms us

when we walk through the door.

It's so hard to believe you're gone

and that we won't see you anymore.

We take the days one at a time,

for that's what you would do.

Your example still shines in our hearts,

and we'll always be thinking of you.
