Losing Loved Ones

The day we lose someone we love
Is the day we dread for all our life
The day we really learn how to love someone
Is the day they cease to exist

We charish our friends, our family
And we all love them dearly
But, the day we lose that person,
Is the day our world falls apart

So with a heavy heart, and a loving memory
We live on, and remember them every day
In our hearts and prayer, we remember them
and their loving ways
We shall grieve for what we have lost

But rejoice, for they are in a better place
So we now know that they hurt no more
And remember, that they are truely never gone
For they live in our hearts forever
And their memory shall live on.
