When you pause to remember, as surely you will,
let it be the laughter that lingers still.
Let it be the smiles you gave to me
that become your clearest memory.
For glimpses of love...like quiet smiles
and hugs that linger for awhile,
will soften the fabric of your life,
like a candle softens the darkest night.
Life does move fast, I suppose it always will.
Soak it all up, every valley and hill.
But when you pause to remember, as surely you will,
let it be the laughter that lingers still.
