Speak Their Name

This was on Lydia Kimball's Facebook page. I'm freaking out a little bit because her post also said she would call me when they're leaving West Branch for the Tigers game tonight (it's Donate Life night and me and Gretchen are going) and she said she just left! I hope she remembers to contact me about the tickets. I find it so hard to trust people. Anyway, here's the poem:

Speak Their Name

Someone I love has gone away
And life is not the same
The greatest gift that you can give
Is just to speak their name

I need to hear the stories
And the tales of days gone past
I need for you to understand
These memories must last

We cannot make more memories
Since they're no longer here
So when you speak of them to me
It's music to my ear
