Did You Know?
By Alveda M Zahn in loving Memory of
Our Beloved Samantha
March 12, 1995-July 15, 2006

Did you know how much
I loved you and still do today?
Did you know that I would
Have willed you to stay?

Did you know how much
I would miss your sweet face?
Did you know that I would
Have willed you to stay?

Did you know how much
I would cry and suffer pain?
Did you know that I would
Have willed you to stay?

Did you know you were ready
Even though I was not?
Did you know that I would
Have willed you to stay?

Is that why you left
When I was not near?
Were my tears more
Than you could bear to hear?

These things I may never know
Or understand. All I know is
I miss you, Samantha,
Now that you are petted by God's hand.
