Parting Words
Sing sweetly, with joyful sound
Pass some smiles all around
Before you lay me in the ground.
And if you believe as I do
That life will resume anew
Though we meet not again
On this frail mortal plane
Light though a windowpane
Will draw me back again
For a quiet little stay
That may brighten up your day.
My peace I leave you happily
Knowing where I will spend eternity.
Leave me here with a final prayer.
Whatever else I had to say
Look not back, but walk away
For if I had warm words to share
Or hugs or kisses or just being there
Just remember, Love goes on.
So do not leave love lurking here
Waiting with cut flowers and tears
Spending your lives on yesteryear.
Be assured that my Love goes on
Please pass it daily on and on.
