Memorial Poem

We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake we know that
you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as we try
to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you, your place
no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; in death we
love you still.

There will always to be a heartache, and often
a silent tear.
But always a precious memory of the days when you were here.

If tears would make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring
you home again.

We hold you close within our hearts; and there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.

Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the same,
But as we are called, one by one, the chain
will link again.
