Remember Me
Remember me with smiles not tears,
For all the joy through all the years.
Recall the closeness that was ours,
A love as “Sweet”as fragtant flowers.
Don’t dwell on the thoughts that cause you pain,
We’ll see each other once again.
I am at peace… try to believe,
It was my time… I had to leave.
But “what a view” I have from here,
I see your face, I feel you near,
I follow you throughout the day,
You’re not alone along the way.
And when God calls you…you will be,
Right by my side…right here with me.
Till then, I’ll wait by Heaven’s door,
We’ll be united…evermore!
We love you, Dad.
