Pictures On a Table

Pictures On A Table

There were pictures on a table
And others on the wall.
Each one told a story
As I walked on down the hall. 

The pictures were of happy times
Of things that he had done.
The smile that he always had
Was brighter than the sun.

But now the family’s gathered
And all were shedding tears.
They had come to say good-bye
To one so young in years.

Yes, there were pictures on a table
Each held a memory.
Of a life that was so promising
And of a soul that’s now set free.

Time goes on and heals the heart
But even if you’re unable
Remember all the love and times 
Of the pictures on the table.
