Black Roses

you live to die 

but to die is to gain 

the body is gone 

but the spirit is everlasting 

the memories are like flashbacks 

but the present causes you to ache 

days of specialty are hard to celebrate 

although their death is a celebration 

celebrating that they're going home 

home, which is where they belong 

tears help the pain go away 

God's words cures the soul 

your body is on Empty 

but the sorrow and pain is on Full 

the only cure is time 

time that was taken away is all that is remembered 

from this day on, the question that will be asked is, "Do you remember the time?" 

He that is within you comforts 

no one or nothing can replace your happiness and joy 

although his presence is gone 

his spirit sings I'm Still Here 

pictures will cause the heart to tighten 

and the eyes to swell with tears 

you are not alone because your loved one sits with the one that keeps us all 

they both dwell in your heart forever
