Stay This Way

Stay this way
Immortalized in a frame
Your snapshot smile
forever beams on your face

Let us stay this way
Eternal in this frame
Our warm embrace
Tight...secure

Stay this way
Timeless in this frame
Our dreams and hopes
Young and free

Stay...today
Though pain and strain
may tug and pull
Say: "With me"
"We will pull through"

You stayed that way
My pleas and tears
fell silently
on deafened ears

Stay this way
Forever Smile
Forever Young
Forever Mine
