Our years in life now over
But the memories begin
We carry them in treasures
We capture from within
The pain in life is echoed
In winds and sands of time
But truth be told in chapters
Of love in life that rhymed
The words in life were spoken
In each specific way
But tokens of our memories
Will carry through each day
A touch that I'll remember
A laugh that we both shared
We gather in abundance
The hours now declared
And so it is the moment
That comes to every man
A whisper of I love you
His final dream commands
I'll walk within your spirit
I'll hold you in my soul
A brother's love is gathered
In each and every goal
You have made a difference
No matter big or small
A time for each remembrance
Is gathered by us all
The book of life has ended
The memories remain
Our spirits joined in unison
Gathered through life's rain.
