Analysis of Precious Living Moments Memory Won't Forsake
If love could have held you
you'd still be at our side
Sharing plans, hopes and dreams,
the future un-denied
Time has claimed your body,
yet from us did not take
precious living moments
memory won't forsake
A sensing of your presence
though anguished in our tear
Your spirit surrounds us
In heart and mind you're near
