Loss

emmorrison 1971 (Mountain Home)



Gone,
But the memories
Live on,

So much to remember
So many tears,
Help us, Lord,

Remember with no fear,
Death reminds us of Death,

In two days, it will be fifteen
Years since I lost my angel, my
Love,  Lord,

Yet today is uncle's memory,
I miss him,  that is why I write,

To the grave you were given on
A April day, yet only your shell
Is buried,  your soul has flown
Away.
