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 awhile.
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 gone to rest a little while.
