The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories
Your love is still our guide,
And although we cannot see you
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.
