In Memory Of
Colleen

Welcome to my home
This path will always lead
To all that is a part of me
 Sweet memories retrieved

Beauty that surrounds me
Within these walls so blessed
Filled with gentle echoes
 Of all life's special guests

Children running in the halls
Laughter everywhere
Sometimes when I close my eyes
 Sweet visions will appear

Tears were shed in life too
So softly they're caressed
Heart was filled with sorrow
Things you can't forget

Pictures hung on special walls
With memories combined
Will be a part of all this love
This house of love did bind

Stroll into my parlor
Rest your weary soul
Feel the gentle spirits here
With love that will console.
