Poem "In Memory" of Classmates

Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.
You are not a forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be.
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
We miss you in so many ways,
We miss the things you used to say,
And when old times we do recall,
Itï's then we miss you most of all.
Looking back with memories,
Upon the path you trod,
We bless the hours we had with you,
And leave the rest with God.
Although death has separated us physically,
faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
we know you are here.
Though we cannot touch you,
we feel the warmth of your smile,
as we begin a new chapter in our lives.
For those gone in presence
but here in essence
This light shines as a symbol
of lives and loves remembered
