The Difference Poem by Marcelle Hyatt

Do we really know the meaning of life
The meaning of life is the difference
The difference that you made
To the ones that you know
Those that have been touched by you
They would know the difference
had it not been for you
They have memories because of you
To carry with them always
You have given life to your children
They are you
Forever you will live within them
They are a reflection of your love
The life you have given them
What you have made them
You will forever be in their lives
Live in their hearts
Life is the time you have shared
With those that you love
And the ones that loved you
Different are we all because of you
Your smile, your laugh, your touch
Everything you gave
Makes the meaning of life
Mean so much more
Because you were you
You can be at peace
Knowing you made a difference
To those that you love
And those that love you
Know the difference
