ODE TO LOVE by Brenda Tarpley In remembrance of love The past stands still Fondly holding memories That the heart easily wills There exists no distance Or measurement of time When recalling beautiful pictures From the pages of our minds We momentarily retrace A time long gone away To vividley relive Now dreams of past days Some memories last a lifetime Like the love they're made of An infinite specialness Of an undying love I pledge to treasure forever Our moments so very tender Alive in my heart Nothing dies...that is remembered

IN OUR HEARTS (Author Unknown) We thought of you with love today But that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday And days before that too We think of you in silence We often speak your name Now all we have is memories And your picture in a frame Your memory is our keepsake With which we'll never part God has you in his keeping We have you in our heart

I ONLY WANTED YOU (Author Unknown) They say memories are golden Well maybe that is true I never wanted memories I only wanted you A million times I needed you A million times I cried 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 No one could ever 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 one by one The chain will link again
