We'll remember them

"We'll be okay even though you're gone away. We'll be okay, as long as you plan to stay, and look down at us each and every single day."

Believe it or not,

Everyone dies.

In the end,

We're always stuck saying goodbyes.

People die

And we cry.

We don't want them to go.

Even though

In our heads we know,

They must leave,

And we must take another breath;

We must breathe.

We must live on with our lives.

When people are left orphans

They think back to what they said

To their parents

And realize if they could go back to that moment again

And change what they said

They would.

Instead of saying the bad things they said,

They'd say something good.

People are cremated,

And put into urns.

We wake up to see them in the morning,

And try to heal our burns.

But when we see the clay figure sitting

On the table of our bedroom,

We remember all over again

That they won't be back;

That person we'll always lack.

Tears are shed,

And our hearts bleed.

Last wishes are read,

And we realize all we'll ever need

Or want

Is that whisper from the mouths of

Our loved ones that have passed on.

The ones that were here,

And now are gone.

The ones that watch us from heaven above;

The ones that we did and always will love.

Those special people who

Meant and mean a lot to me and to you.

Those special people who

Went places with you, and had fun

Those special people who

Were the suns

In our lives.

For their deaths, we mourn

And to everlasting love we're sworn.

We'll love them forever, and ever

And forget them, we'll never.

We say good bye,

Now they'll fly.

Into the heavenly sky.

Although it's so high

Above,

They we'll always love.

They'll stay

In our heart;

With them, we'll never part.

We'll think of them each and every day,

Even though they're gone away.

We'll love them as if it was yesterday

And they were here

Beside us

Instead of over there

For we hold them dear

And in our dreams they'll always appear.

The point is, we love them and always will

And our hearts they'll always fill.

We'll look up at the sky at night

To them, the stars that shine bright.

And we'll know they're there

Watching us from above,

And that in a way they'll always be here,

And us they'll always love.
