We thought of you

With love today,

But that is nothing new.

We thought about

You yesterday,

And days before that too.

We think of you in silence,

We often speak your name.

Now all we have is memories

And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake

With which we’ll never part.

God has you in his keeping.

We have you in our heart.

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.

I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when my life is done.

I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,

Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun;

Of happy memories that I leave...
