Time and eternity
Will resound with our laughter,
For even when there is an end to time
There will still be love,
And we will know we have found treasure
If we hold fast to our family.

Our kin and those so close to us are known as family
And they'll be close to us even throughout eternity,
For it's not only here we have this treasure,
And it's not only here we hear their laughter,
And it's not only here we feel their love;
It's there for us beyond all space and time.

Let us make good use of our time
By developing good relationships with our family,
And let us show love
So that we can continue this love relationship throughout eternity,
Forever basking in the warmth and joy of laughter;
Forever beholding the richness of this treasure.

For it is indeed a precious and priceless treasure
That cannot be halted by the ending of time,
For in the far-off realms of eternity we will hear their laughter.
In the place where spirits dwell we will still be family
For all eternity,
Forever in love.

And oh, the beauty of this love
And the richness of this treasure,
Stretching beyond the portals of time and eternity,
Beyond eternity and time,
This simple, yet profound thing known as family
With whom we can share life, pain, joy, sorrow and laughter.

Oh, for the joy of laughter and love,
Oh, for this thing called family, a priceless treasure
Which spans time and eternity.
