Those We LoveThose we love remain with us

for love itself lives on,and cherished memories never fade

because a loved one’s gone.Those we love can never bemore than a thought apart,

for as long as there is memory,they’ll live on in the heart.

Those we love don’t go away,They walk beside us every day,

Unseen, unheard, but always near,Still loved, still missed and very dear.
