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 the hurt
and given relief.
So dry your eyes and remember me,
not as 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 gone only to rest for a little while.
As long as I have the love of each of you,
I can live in the hearts of all of you.
