qIf Tears Could Build A Stairway

if tears coulD BuilD a stairway, anD memories a lane;i woulD walk rigHt up to Heaven anD Bring you Back again.no farewell worDs were spoken, no time to say “gooDBye”;you were gone Before i knew it, anD only goD knows wHy.

my Heart still acHes witH saDness,anD secret tears still flow;

wHat it meant to love you, no one can ever know.But now i know you want me to mourn for you no more;

to rememBer all tHe Happy times, life still Has mucH in store. since you’ll never Be forgotten, i pleDge to you toDay;

a HolloweD place witHin my Heart,is wHere you’ll always stay.

Obituary“For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.”
