My beloved uncle

I can't believe you're gone,
there's not enough words to say,
How much I loved about you,
in every single way,

I want to hear your laughter,
how it used to fill my heart,
With happiness and smiles,
right from the very start,

I used to like to see you,
at the end of every week,
I'd do anything to hear you,
to pick up the phone to speak,

I hope you are still with me,
and helping me find my way,
Like you did for most of my life,
I miss you every day,

The pain is so unbearable,
I don't know how to feel,
I can't believe you're gone,
it doesn't feel it's real,

I wish I could smile for you,
so you could be happy too,
but you were the very best,
my heart is torn in two,

In time I'll learn to accept,
you're at peace now and I know,
That you are shining down on me,
and it was just time to go,

but for now I'll pray you're alright,
wherever it is you are,
and I'll love you for the rest of my life,
because you're my shining star
