The things we feel so deeply, are the hardest things to say.
But we your family loved you in a very special way.
They say that memories are golden, well that may be true.
But, we never wanted memories we only wanted you.
If tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane.
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again
