Flowers Die,Pictures Fade

I wrote this in memory of my uncle. Flowers die and pictures fade,attempting to erase every memory ever made. Letters are lost while the clouds roll in, letting the rain pour and the sadness begin. Feelings are lost and people pass on,showing us we're the one's who have to be strong. GOD gives us strength to keep our head held high, not letting the wonders of the world pass by. Love everyday and you will see,miracles happen when you believe. Nothing can stop you from living your life, even when the pain cuts like a knife. Some family we've lost and some still remain, leaving only love and happiness to be gained. Some memories fade while the best never die, leaving you with feelings of wanting to laugh and cry. People make the biggest impact without even trying, then everything changes when they are dying. Ton's of faces get lost in the crowd, to your surprise certain one's stand out. GOD gives you love and never leaves you alone, providing a loving family along with a good home. Life will bear obstacles and put you to the test, but you have to be strong and always try your best. Never back down from any hardship thrown your way, it will make you stronger until your last day. Say what you feel in your heart and never back down, even when your taking your last breath take one last look around. Angels are singing a song only you can hear, complete the last part with an open heart, and absolutely no fear. Flowers will die and pictures will fade, but your memory is one that will always stay. In Loving Memory of my Uncle You will be missed dearly. MAY 28th 2012
