Precious memories live in my heart each day
Being stored in the vault of love where they stay

The precious ones always bring a tear to my eye
These memories are often of a loved one who has died

Precious is an endearing term sent from God on high
Memories that flood my soul with many emotions which fly

Memories of Mother and Dad in their happier times of life
Memories of playful and joyful times with my dear wife

Time marched on my feelings become less strong
God planned it that way, that I may carry on

God is perfect in everything he does 
It is for me to listen following His Love
