Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles, I’ve only gone to rest a little while.
Although my leaving causes pain and grief, my going has eased my hurt, and given me relief.
So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am now, but as I used to be.
Because, I will remember you all, and look on with a smile.
Understand in your hearts, I’ve only gone to rest a little while.
As long as I have the love of each of you, I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.
