Remember those who have passed on,
Who were once with us but now have gone.
For themselves they cannot speak,
So remember when they were strong or weak.

Happy memories can be shared
With all of those who loved and cared.
We may sort out different selections 
Of special times and recollections.

Remember their laugh and their smile,
And think of the good times all the while.
All those memories are bittersweet,
Since joy and sadness must now meet.

Though inside we may feel our heart will cry
Now is the time to say goodbye.
And while we may feel sorrow and regret
It does not mean we should forget.
