Alway's There:

Bury me in a sunshine pasture of my favorite flowers.
Stand over me and say prayers for hours.

Call on me when you miss me so.
Don't think of me as being gone, but home. 

Love the things you remember about me.
Not the things we didn't get to see.

Tell the good stories to your children and their's.
I'll be listening as I decend god's staires.

Watch a distant sun rise and smile in memory of me.
And I'll smile back through the passing breeze.

Don't worry even if my body is gone i'm with you in your heart.
I know you'll make it without me because you've always been smart.

I've always loved poems, stories, tales, etc... that promote the idea of creating a legacy or history. The line "Tell the good stories to your children and their's" really brings that home.
