Even In Death

"Darling, I can't avoid this fate, Everyone, someday, somehow, Must transcend into the realm Only Death himself will know. My time, yes, came a bit soon, And while I'll not tell you why, Just know that as you read, I watch you from the sky. Hush, if your lips quiver now, Do not let your tears fall. My body may have been long gone But my spirit lives in all. Hush, love, set that candle down, Light not a fire for my death. Rather smile, and let love lie In your every gentle breath. I wish not to sadden you, So please stay not in winter, But in the spring, yes, in hope, Where the breeze makes all better. And remember this, Keep my written words with you: Whether in heaven or hell I may be, My love remains forever true. So mourn not, please, my dear, Let me see you smile bright, For I will love you, always, From Life's Daybreak to Twilight."
