As I Go Away
When my day is done here,
I will leave with good cheer.
And in my afterglow,
My soul wants you to know:
May my memory be,
Make you truly happy.
Was love my cheery style
When you think of my smiles?
Did I whisper softly
Words that touched you deeply?
Did you feel more happy
When you read my story?
Did I bring joy to you
In the days that once cued?
Do you feel cheer and joy
In our fond play and ploy?
Do the echoes still squeeze
In the cool, windy breeze?
My friend, let tears be brief,
Dance and sing, do not grief.
I will meet you again,
In a land beyond pain
Until then, just see me
In your fond memories.
For my day is done here,
I go to Spirit spheres.
