In loving memory of Betty Cadwallader whose birthday is February 15th.

If Tears Could Build a StairwayIf tears could build a stairway and thoughts a memory lane,I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.No farewell words were spokenNo time to say good-bye,You were gone before I knew itAnd only God knows why.My heart's still active in sadnessAnd secret tears still flow,What it meant to lose youNo one can ever know.But now I know you want usTo mourn for you no more,To remember all the happy timesLife still has much in store.Since you'll never be forgotten,I pledge to you todayA hallowed place within my heartIs where you'll always stay.
