Life can never stay the same
No matter how we try
Our hands can never stop
The clock of life from ticking by
But love remains, unchanging
In the care of sorrowing hearts
For as the love of life is stilled
The love of memory starts!
I never knew a single word
could alter all it touched
I never knew a word
could make me cry
I never knew our last word
would break my heart so much
I never knew....
before we said goodbye!
Mom & Dad
The rain may wash my pain away
The wind may dry my tears
The summer sun may heal my heart
And time subdue my fears
But nothing in the world below
Or in the heavens above
Will ever take away
The precious memory of your love!
Patricia
I remember everything about you,
your voice, your smile, your touch,
the way you walked, the way you talked,
the way you looked at me, meant so much.
I remember all the words you said to me,
some funny, some kind, some wise,
all of the things you did for me,
I see now with different eyes.
I remember every moment we shared,
seems like only yesterday,
or maybe it was eons ago,
It's really hard to say.
You are gone from me now,
but one thing they can't take away,
your memory resides inside my heart,
and lights up my darkest days.
When God gave you to me,
He never said that you were mine,
That I could keep you always -
Only borrowed for a time.
Now He's called you home,
I am sad and I shed tears.
Yet I am glad He loaned you to me,
And we had these many years!
Chung sawltha eng sing-seng nuai ah,
Vonchawite nui-git luitui luang dup dup gual ah,
Lui-gal ah sai hon luitui del ah hungte,
En ah zansawt khawksa lo ah luipam ah,
Dam diai cha nuisiau ah hun i matlai niteu,
Geldaw changin nang ka ngaidiak sek.
Zan khawsawt ah mai-mit ka siin-lo hun inle,
Tawngkam saang ding kuama umlo maleh,
La siang naubang ka mauna-te,
Hun khat maitua in suikhawm kit thei leng maw!
La sakmel khatvei mukit in khulsin ziang leng le,
Kei an lungawina kim tan'a!

Memories are forever.....
We little knew the day that
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But in God we put our trust,
In times as difficult as this,
Faith is such a must.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

Memories are forever!
What the heart has once known,
It shall never forget!
Life is eternal;
and love is immortal;
and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
