We Remember Them

We remember them.

In the rising of the sun and its going down,

In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,

We remember them.

In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring

We remember them.

In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer,

We remember them.

In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn,

We remember them.

In the beginning of the year and when it ends

We remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength

We remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart

We remember them.

When we have joys we yearn to share,

We remember them.

So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are a part of us, as

We remember them.

Memories

They say memories are golden,
Well maybe that is true
But we never wanted memories,
We only wanted you

A million times we've thought of you,
A million times we've cried,
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a special place,
That noone could ever fill.

If tears could build a staircase,
And heartache build a lane,
We'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.
