The Link

They say memories are golden; well maybe that is true. I never wanted memories, I only wanted you. A million times I needed you, a million times I cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life, I loved you dearly, In death, I love you still. In my heart, you hold a place no one cold ever fill. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane. I'd walk the path to Heaven and bring you back again. Our family chain is broke, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
