We are not so far from you,
Just a little way beyond;
Past the cares and past the pain,
Far past our earthly bonds.
When you feel you miss us most,
As years go drifting by;
Each memory will prove to you,
That our love will never die.
For memories are but a touch,
From the Father's gentle hand;
To heal your pain and mend your hearts,
To help you understand...
That while we left you far too soon,
We did not leave alone;
For the Father sent His angels,
To gently take us home.
Take comfort when you think of us,
Keep our love alive in your heart;
And with the warmth of each memory,
We will never be apart.
