Memories and Treasures No one can steal Death is a heartache No one can heal For someone who hues you dearly Are the ones who wont forget Not being able to say goodbye
Some may forget you now that you are gone But one shall remember no matter how long
The flowers are placed on your grave Withered and decayed, but the love
For you sleeps beneath will never fade away.
