Loving Memories of You
"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;
All we have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake with which we'll never part,
God has you in his keeping, we have you in our heart."
