"Do not stand at my plaque and cry
I did not vanish, I did not die
I went up to the heavens, I am a twinkling star
And I am always very closeeven though I seem so far
I'm an invisible person, behind you throughout your day
Always and Forever, I am with you all the way
You need to get along with life, but know I am always here
Whenever you feel down, my memories will bring you cheer
I am like your guardian, sending messages from above
Please understand, I'll never stop sending you love
I don't want you to sob over me, I don't want you to grieve
Because I will live forever with you and I won't ever leave
So please do not look at my plaque and cry
I did not vanish, I did not die"
