Parting Words

Sing sweetly, with joyful sound Pass some smiles all around Before you lay me in the ground. And if you believe as I do That life will resume anew Though we meet not again On this frail mortal plane Light though a windowpane Will draw me back again For a quiet little stay That may brighten up your day. My peace I leave you happily Knowing where I will spend eternity. Leave me here with a final prayer. Whatever else I had to say Look not back, but walk away For if I had warm words to share Or hugs or kisses or just being there Just remember, Love goes on. So do not leave love lurking here Waiting with cut flowers and tears Spending your lives on yesteryear. Be assured that my Love goes on Please pass it daily on and on.
