Forever

The journey back is farther 
Than the road I took from home
With only thoughts to welcome me
No open arms to hold

And pictures framed by dust and time
Hang silent in the rooms
Where life was once abundant
With laughter, tears, and youth

And the voices now, just whispers
With memories to give them life
That holds our heart forever
To never say goodbye
For once their light has touched us
Forever will they shine
