A Silent Tear

By Gaynor Llewellyn

Just close your eyes and you will see

All the memories that you have of me.

Just sit and relax and you will find

I’m really there inside your mind.

Don’t cry for me now I’m gone

For I am in the land of song.

There is no pain, there is no fear.

So dry away the silent tear.

Don’t think of me, no longer old.

I’m in that place that’s filled with love

Known to you all as “up above”.
