Forever in our Hearts

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me 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 eased my hurt and given me relief.

So, dry your eyes and Remember Me, not as I am now, but what I used to be.

I will remember you all and look on with a smile, understand in your hearts I've only gone to rest a while.

As long as I have the love of each of you, I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.
