-Remember Me-

Remember me -

When you see a dove fly-

Remember me - When the roses glisten with drops of dew -

Remember me - But never cry -

For I am forever - Always with you.

Remember me - but do not grieve -

'Twas God's will - for me to leave.

Remember me - but not in sadness -

Remember me, only in gladness.

For all we shared - Laughter and fun -

But now my purpose, on Earth is done.

So - go on your way.

Find a new tomorrow.

Never think of me with sorrow.

Make each new day the best -

Before you come to that Heavenly Rest.

Remember me!
