The day has come to clear out your house
With saddened hearts we enter the room
Where once laughter and smiles were all about
The room now dank and cold in the gloom
The things you left, lay lifeless and untouched
Soon to scatter as your atoms towards the sun
Where once, to you, they all meant so much
Your sweet song of life has now been sung
For these props have run their course upon your stage
They played their part but now, like you, must go
Yet the memories of your kind and loving ways
Are truly all my heart needs as a memento
