This day is remembered and quietly kept,

No words are needed. We shall never forget.

Those we love don’t go away,

They walk beside us every day.

Unseen, unchanged, but always near.

So loved, so missed, so very dear.

Though we miss since you’ve been gone,

We know that in Heaven your spirit shines on.
