Memorial Day
With the end of May approaching we look forward to Memorial Day. The celebration of the rememerance of those who have gone on without us whether it be family, the troops who have sacrificed everything for us or those who died on 9/11. To all of those who are survivers of a loved one, this one is for you!
Memories
There's a silence in your life today
A place no one can share.
A missing part, within your heart
for one that was so rare.
Where memories now must fill the gap
for the voice you'll never hear.
It's soft refrain, will now remain,
Just an echo in your ears.
There's sometimes disagreement,
Between the people that we love,
But time can heal, no one can steal
Great lessons from above.
So when it's time to say "goodbye"
there is no easy way.
Forgive, forget, shrug off regrets
For there's nothing left to say.
There's a silence in your life today
A place no one can share.
But their in your heart, those missing parts,
For love is still so rare.
