Memory
Author Unknown


There is a place called memory,
Where we sometimes like to roam.
Through hills of love and laughter
A place we know as home.

A place that's free from all this pain
Where our hearts are light once more.
A place that lives forever,
Where life is, as it was before.

Our children live in memory.
They laugh and dance and sing.
Their lives are filled with a magic
Only Heaven can bring.
They feel no hurt or anger.
Their spirits are free as air.
And God's love will always protect them
In times when we aren't there.

Cherish this place called memory.
Feel the love that lives there.
Remember the joys, the warmth of the sun,
And the bond you will always share.

Smile at happy moments,
Laugh at times gone by.
Let the tears you cry be happy ones,
Know love will never die.

Have no fear of visiting,
The joy will outweigh the pain.
Learn to treasure memory for there is much that you will gain.
And though life is not as it was before,
And never will be again,
Our memories are much richer,
Than if love had never been.

They say memories are golden,
Well, maybe that is true;
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried;
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still;
In my heart you hold a piece
No one could ever fill.

But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more,
To remember the happy times
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today;
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

If tears could build a stairway
And heartache make a lane;
I'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
