Each Life Is A Song A life is a song we write In our own tone and key Each life we touch reflects a note That forms the melody We choose the theme and chorus of the song that bears our name And each will have a special sound No two can be the same. So when someone we love departs In memory we find Their song plays on within the hearts of those they leave behind.
