Love never dies

Elmo Benedict

I remember with sorrow that parting day
A heart of gold stopped beating
As mild as a flower you were in this world
Your kindness and humility
Deep devotion of love and sacrifice
God’s precious gift to me and my family
The gates of memory never close
As time takes away the edge of grief
Memory turns back every leaf
For love never dies
To be in God’s keeping is surely a blessing
