"For as long as memories persist,
We shall exist, entwined in bliss.
A tapestry of shared experiences, we hold dear,
Guiding us forward, casting out all fear."

"Till we meet again
In our heavenly home
Beyond the starry sky.

Welcomed by angels singing
Ushered to His glorious presence
You stand tall with face glowing,
Free from tears and pain."

Don't Cry For Me

Don't cry for me now I have I've gone away,
for I'm still here I'm by your side,
My body's gone but my soul is here,
please don't shed another tear,
I am still here I'm all around, only my body lies in the ground.

Don't say goodbye.

Goodbye can't come that easy when you love somebody soo much,

Goodbye can't come that easily when my heart is yours that only you touch.

I know things are hard and im so greatful for you staying by my side,

But please don't say goodbye, don't leave me alone on this ride.

My heart is torn to pieces thinking that you're no longer there,

I need you in my life, in your eyes i need to stare.

I can no longer breathe as my life feels it has no meaning,

You are the one thing in my life that gets me going, you're all i believe in.

Please don't say goodbye after all of this time,

You're my man whom i always want to be just mine.

-I will love you today, tommorow and for the rest of my life.

Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo,
santificado sea tu nombre; venga a nosotros tu reino;
hágase tu voluntad, en la tierra como en el cielo.
 Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día;
perdona nuestras ofensas como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden;
no nos dejes caer en la tentación, y líbranos del mal. Amén.

Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that once we shared
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all part of the master plan
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know.
Laugh at all the things we used to do
Miss me, but let me go.
