Until We Meet Again

A light from our lives has gone

A voice we loved is still

A place is vacant within our hearts

Which never can be filled

A bouquet of beautiful memories

Sprayed with a million tears

We wish God could have spared you

If just for a few more years

We hold you close within our hearts

And there you will remain

To walk with us through our lives

Until we meet again

So rest in peace dear loved one

And thanks for all you’ve done

We pray that God has given you

The crown you’ve truly won

Your vacant place no one can fill

We miss you now and always will
