In Our Hearts To Stay It seems we are never quite prepared for a parent to pass on It shakes our whole foundation that weve built our lives upon. Acceptance comes as time goes by and the pain of loss subsides But all the memories remain and we think of them with pride. Our parents give us self-esteem and help us to be strong They build in us a lasting faith and teach us right from wrong. They raise us all to stand alone to try our wings and fly And as we come to set them free it is hard to say goodbye. So, let us say, "We love you" as you travel on your way A part of you will still live on within our hearts to stay.
