Another light extinguished.
Another dose of sorrow,
We know they're not forever,
They are but ours to borrow.

So we are robbed repeatedly,
and words cannot suffice,
We love them with a vengeance
and pay the awful price.

Death stalks the things we love
and we are helpless in it's face.
But it cannot take our memories,
they're in a special place.
So death wins many battles,
It is what your tears are for.
But, it cannot take your memories
so it cannot win the war.

IF IT SHOULD BE...

If it should be I grow frail and weak,
And pain should wake me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done,
For this last battle can't be won.

You will be sad- I understand-
Don't let grief then stay your hand,
For this day, more than all the rest,
Your love and friendship stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
What is to come will hold no fears,
You'd not want me to suffer, so,
When the time comes- please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend,
Only stay with me until the end,
And hold me firm and speak to me,
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you too will see,
It is a kindness you do to me,
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved,

Do not grieve that it should be you,
Who has to decide this thing to do,
We've been close -we two- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

If I could have a lifetime wish,
A dream that would come true.
I'd pray to God with all my heart,
For yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back,
I know because I've tried.
And neither will a million tears,
I know because I've cried.
You left behind my broken heart,
And happy memories too.
They say memories are golden, well,
Maybe that is true, but I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one else could fill.
If tears could build a stairway,
And heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to Heaven,
And bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us back one by one,
The chain will link again.
