A Better Place

Cry for me no more

the many tears of sadness

My time in this world was over

and it came for me to pass.

Bring the photos of old time

and see them not with tear-filled eyes

But with eyes of joy and laughter

and smile once more with me.

Know that I am in a better place

one without disease

without hatred and without death

This kingdom I now call home

I wait here for you

When your time comes to pass

to ease the transition

from the old to the new.

Cry for me no more.

Remember only the laughter.

For I am in another realm

And I wait to see you again.
