The light of life will flicker, fade, and die
And from the darkness nothing may return
A time to mourn, to grieve, to say goodbye
But always, locked within, a flame will burn
If words were left unsaid, do not regret
A moment missed was never yours to share
Embrace the love your heart will not forget
The priceless, precious times when you were there
The years, the days, the memories, all true
Remember them with gladness in your heart
For what you meant to them and they to you
Remember what no time can tear apart
The life, but not the memory, has passed
Remember this, until you fade at last
