Remember Me

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.
