A Flash of Memories
Remember what she’s given
Remember what she’s taken
Just think of all the friends she’s making
Because a flash of memories will flood in
And deep down the feelings are within
Remember when she laughed
Remember when she cried
Never forget all the things she tried
Because a flash of memories will flood in
Then inside the healing can begin
Remember who she’s met
Remember who she’s known
Start holding all the love she’s shown
Because a flash of memories will flood in
And living with something you can’t hold in
Remember why she’s smiling
Remember why she’s caring
Listen to all the stories she’s sharing
Because a flash of memories will flood in
Thinking you need someone to reach in
Remember where she’s gone
Remember where she’s been
Because a flash of memories will flood in
Remember how she lived
Remember how she made
A flash of memories, come to your heart
Now apart, but never gone
Life goes on and on and on
Caretaker
We enjoyed every day, every minute with you
Everything you showed us, we will use
But the thought of you leaving became so true
Every time you remind us, we will care
We believed every day, after day it can change
Everywhere you’re taking us, we had help
But the thought of you going seemed so strange
Every way you’re finding us, we had fear
The caretaker’s journey
If we could take our time to follow
The caretaker’s travels
If we would have discovered the path
The caretaker’s pictures
When you had the sky in the window
The caretaker’s crafting
When you turned the wood into track
I remember every ride, every weekend with you
Everything you gave to me, I will keep
But the thought of you dying remains so new
Every time you concern me, I will fear
I returned every week, after week for the news
Every tear I have cried since, I thought of you
Caretaker, the father
Grandfather, your daughter
Caretaker, your mother
Grandmother, the helper
Caretaker, we miss you
