Always Remember

Sensing the sadness in your expressions
Pushes this heart to crush in new ways
You were so innocent in my eyes
But now—now, you've taken a sip
From Sorrow's bitter cup
Never to remember days unclaimed
By memories of how life used to be

The beauty of your strength reminds
me of all anyone could ever want
The resoluteness of your faith exemplifies
all we need for finding heaven
Your natural flow of positivity decries
the possibility of negativity seeping
In to weaken your soul's pure light

Hold to the hope of seeing friends
Again, to be with those we love
And who love us in return
Listen to the hope that the spirit brings
With each prayer of faith and devotion
Remember how much love and care
You have always known
