In Our Hearts to Stay It seems we're never quite prepared For a parent to pass on... It shakes our whole foundation That we've built our lives upon. Acceptance comes as time goes by, And the pain of loss subsides... But all the memories remain And we think on 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's 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 stay.
