Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.
A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
Its with loved ones you belong.
