Afterthoughts of the Heart

Death claimed you not so long ago
And our sorrow is profound.
We still expect to see you...
Your presence is all around.

We cry for all the moments
We know will never be.
Now our memories must sustain us
As your spirit is set free.

We'll save your earthly treasures
That bring you back to mind.
The scent of you still lingers there
So your not hard to find.

The family tree still bears your name
In the Bible handed through the years.
With love you'll always be remembered
As we shed bittersweet tears.

You will not be forgotten
As generations pass by.
We'll keep your memory in our hearts...
We'll never let it die.
