You went away so long ago,
In the dim and distent past,
I still remember you nana,
I was a boy when I saw you last.

I remember all the good times,
all the laughs we used to share,
But now those days are gone,
You are no longer there.

The times have changed so quickly,
The family have all moved on,
It's never really been the same,
Since the day that you were gone.

One day we'll all meet again,
In heaven up above,
Forever in Gods paradise,
and never ending love

Real kindness is giving,
Not wanting in return,
Giving is a joy for me,
Something we should learn.

I believe in helping,
Many people are in need,
I know it is God's plan,
I will do my best indeed.

I give when I don't want to,
Whatever they may ask,
They may need it more than me,
It can be a difficult task.

Some people take advantage,
On times they do forget,
Some people don't appreciate it,
They should show respect.

Time keeps moving on so fast,
The things that we collect,
We keep things to remember,
So we never will forget.

Photographs and keepsakes,
Reminders of the past,
Memories of long ago,
Moments we want to last.

The places that I've been to,
The people I have met,
They're now images in my mind,
They're moments to reflect.

Memories are in your head,
Not in things that we posessed,
They help us to remember,
But we can all get obsessed.

I dream about my Dad at night,
I dream he's still alive,
I wake up in the morning,
only memories survive.

I would see him every weekend,
when I was a little boy,
he would take me to the cinema,
to me it was all a joy.

The time went quick,
and now it's gone,
it's all so long ago,
but in my mind
I bring it back,
the memories just flow.

I think about him now and then,
and in the past I'd cry,
I wish he did'nt go that day,
we didn't say goodbye.
