Our Flowers, Our Loss - For the Manchester Families

Where have all our beautiful flowers gone Each so very special in their own way Where have all our young flowers gone Why has this world’s evil taken them away Where have all our young flowers gone Oh Lord, we miss them in so many ways And it's hard to accept the reason they left As our grief overwhelms us so much today For our souls are broken in many, many pieces While our hearts are deeply wrought with pain We know from this moment forward in our lives Nothing in our world will again be the same Where have all our little flowers gone to Though it may seem they are now far away The jewels of our lives are still very near For in our hearts, their smiles brightly stay Even as our hearts deeply weep for all of them In all their faces an angel’s smile, we'll see Knowing our Lord has embraced each one lovingly Giving their spirits the blessing of heavenly gain.
