We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds

The days we don not think of you are very hard to find

Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone

And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on

Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow

What it meant to lose you no one will ever know

Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill

In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still

There will always be a heartache and often a silent tear

But always a precious memory of the days when you were here

If tears would make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane

We’d walk the path to heaven and bring you home again

We hold you close within our hearts; and there you will remain

To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again

Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the same

But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again
