Fill not your heart with pain and sorrow But remember me in every tomorrow Remember the joy, The laughter, the smiles I've only gone to rest a while Although my leaving causes Pain and grief My going has erased the hurt and given relief So dry your eyes and Remember me Not as now, but as I used to be I will always remember you and reflect with a smile Understand I've only gone to rest a while As long as I have the love Of each of you I will live life in the hearts of all you. -Author Unknown
