My final resting place

My final resting place. I may be in the room next door I may be down the hall, Don’t you try looking for me As you won’t find me here at all. I’m in my final resting place A place where you can’t see, A place where you can’t visit And sit and talk with me. But I am always with you And believe me when I say, I will be here waiting When it comes to your ‘resting day’ Where we can be together And sit and laugh and cry, But don’t you rush to join me here With the birds up in the sky. Please just keep this promise That you will always be, That lovely, true, kind person Who always saw the best in me. The person who I turned to When things were good or bad, And even though I’m gone now I beg you, please don’t feel too sad. When you think of me from time to time And a tear rolls down your face, I tell you I am happy here In my final resting place.
