• A choir of candles emits
    A small glimmer of your grace

    Towards your embroidered picture they shine
    You smiling perky face

    As I dwell quietly
    I can sense your seldom spirit

    As the scent of your presence lingers
    It brings forth your past virtues and merit

    As we gather here tonight to remember
    All the works of your life

    Lifting heartfelt prayers in silence
    Hoping that they would suffice
    (For the expense that you may entice)

    I can picture us laughing
    All the memories reenacting

    Do I cherish this moment reminiscing
    Your gifts, your love everlasting

    But the final bells have rung
    As do the restless amass

    In your wooden casket you rest in peace now
    My final rose to you against the glass

    Our bonds still there
    As I am left to appreciate

    All you have done on this world
    And its good to know now,
    your in a better place

    And though I cannot choose
    the way for you to pass away

    I can still choose how I want to remember you
    regardless of what the world will say
