Allows Our Souls To Shine With Such Glee

Why do some people show their emotional side
When a loved one dies
It's a time when family and friends have to try
To except that only God gets to decide why
More often then not rational people get distraught
Let their personal feelings get tied in so many knots

When we act in this kind of disarray
About someone, we love and should only praise
Because they are at the end of a perfect ballet
Then it's our place to bring God's grace
We must remember to embrace

In no way do we want to look from heaven to see or hear
Of our loved ones who acted out in such fear
Nor do we want anyone to just disappear
It's about our pathway to God
In which we want all to relay
When it comes to the one we portray
We need not act in such an irrational display

It's about their inner core and all they stood for
The memories we all adore
Believing that there is no score 
About one's life, we need to explore 
Or what we can't see anymore
Because we are unable to live in the reality
To let their souls shine with such glee

We spend our whole lives gathering it all with such empathy
Our journey of connecting you all to me
Making it possible for all to see
Without our family tree that has come to be
Then our souls are never really set free
It really does matter what lives in our memories

So if you all can remember that, please
I don't want anybody to fight or disagree
Out of grief for me
Not when I spent my whole life building such a treasury
Of memories, I want to guarantee
To be filled with nothing but love and bliss
Of my gentle kiss of a time, we all reminisced

For all my friends and family to share their love for me
I want to believe we can all agree
How much you all mean to me
I get to go to heaven that made life worth living
So it's about my legacy
In all that life on earth turned out to be
