Remember Me

He closes his eyes,
he looks asleep.
The angel above him cries and weeps.

The family looks,
so lost and grim.
With feeling lost, 
in every limb.

Dressed in black,
a crowd meets.
Praying to our Lord,
he is yet to meet.

He looks down,
and smiles, 
at his loved one,
he sees.
And sends down a kiss,
saying 'Remember me'
