For my mother.........
The moment that you died
my heart split in two.
The one side filled with memories
the other died with you.
I often lay awake at night
when the world is fast asleep
and take a walk down memory lane
with tears upon my cheeks.
I hold you tight within my heart
and there you will remain
Life has gone on without you
but it will never be the same.
For those that still have your moms
treat her with tender care
You'll never know the emptiness
until you turn and she's not there.
We also like to remember our other loved ones at this time. Our brother Rodney Meekis who left us on March 25, 1999 and our father Morley Meekis - April 4, 2000.
Memories
They say memories are golden.
well maybe that’s true
But we never wanted memories,
we only wanted you.
A million times we've needed you
A million times we've cried .
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a special place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stair case
And heartache build a lane
We'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
but as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
