One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure.
The precious, poignant, tender gift
Of Memory--that will keep
Our dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God give them sleep.
It brings back long remembered things.
A song, a word, a smile
And our world's a better place --because
We had them for awhile!
