When I am gone
Don’t grieve for me.
Don’t tie yourself to me with tears
Just be grateful we had so many years.
Be comforted with the trust that we will meet again
When you come to your journeys end.
I want you to remember me with smiles and laughter.
If you can’t remember me with smiles, than don’t remember me at all.
