You're Memory

Your memory isn't in the ashes of the strong person that we knew.
It's not resting in a cold dark grave, but in the people that miss you.
It lies in the tears that fill our eyes. It rests in our sobs, our hurt and our cries.
Then when the hurt goes numb and we feel nothing at all,
Your memory lasts in those thoughts and times we recall.
Even though our minds grow weak, and you thought your memory did fade,
It lasts in the impact that your life had made.
