They never quite leave us - the
friends who have passed
Through the shadows of death to
the sunlight above;
A thousand sweet memories are
holding them fast
To the places they blessed with
their presence and love.
I'VE are bound by our love and
our faith
To the saints who are walking in
Paradise fair;
They have passed beyond sight,
at the touching of death.
They live like ourselves, in Gods
infinite care"
