M.P. Shaudd Poet Lyric

Gift of Memories

When my I love you falls silent on your ears
And I'm laid back into the cold hard ground
Please speak of me at my eulogy
Espouse to all what I believed
Talk about those I loved
And our ride across the miles

Make sure my family and my friends all know
That the greatest gift they've ever given me
Was the honor of my knowing them
We've laughed and grown but then again
I still got one last gift to give
My gifts the memories

I'll never be further than a thought away
If you care to see my smile do the same
Chances are you'll forget
My voice in time but don't be upset
Cause someday you will give the same
Gift of memories

If I didn't get to tell you I was sorry
For something that I may have put you through
Please take from me apologies
Wrapped up with the truth
I've never been a perfect man 
But all I held was love for you 

And lastly for my wife and son
While we all feared this day we also knew it'd come
There aren't enough analogies
To help the hurt and stop the grief
Just know that you were my world
And my gifts the memories

I'll never be further than a thought away
If you care to see my smile do the same
Chances are you'll forget
My voice in time but don't be upset
Cause someday you will give the same
Gift of memories

I still love you all
Please heed the call
And my gift of memories
