Memory of Beautiful Things
We carry our memories
From yesteryear
Memories we cherish
Ones so dear
The hugs and kisses
Given as a child
The beauty of our children
Even if for a little while
Remembering handprints
On the walls
Bugs and flowers
We remember it all
Bedtime stories
How many we read
Getting our little ones
Ready for bed
Squeals and laughter
Grins so wide
Watching our child grow
Oh, the pride
Those days are gone
But what I'd give
For one more chance
To have my child live
But since that can't happen
I'll carry in my heart
The memories of our lives
Before my child had to part
I'll remember the laughter
That was once part of me
I'll carry my love
Through eternity
When the days are hard
And you don't know what to do
Think of your memories
They will carry you through.
Think of a love
That death cannot part
For we bereaved parents
Cherish what is in our hearts
