The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that God
was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, you are always at out side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Remembrance

You can shed tears that she is gone, Or you can smile that she has lived. You can close your eyes And pray that she’ll come back, Or you can open your eyes And see that she has left. Your heart can be empty Because you can’t see her, Or you can be full of The love you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow And live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow Because of yesterday. You can remember her And only that she’s gone, Or you can cherish Her memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, Be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what she’d want:

Smile, Open your eyes, Love and Go On.

We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
We thought of you yesterday, and days before that, too.
We think of you in silence, we speak your name with pride,
And we relive our memories of living side by side.
Your memory is our keepsake with which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping---
We have you in our heart.
