Memories Are Everything

Dear Sir,

Surround yourself with love
And visions of his laughter
Know that it will stay
Now and forever after

Picture his eyes shining
With intelligence and might
And know that his soul put forth
That beautiful, wholesome light

Love surrounds his memory
And it shines through everything too
Remember the feelings you felt,
And what he means to you

Though he’s gone for now
You’ll see him soon enough
And hold that close to you
When the times get, oh so, rough

You’re not alone out there
I’ve felt this pain too
And yet when your best friend is gone
There’s nothing left to do

Hold the memories close
For they will come to mean
A world of worth, of value
They are everything
