Rose Marie Palus

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,

but remember me in every tomorrow.

Remember the joy, the laughter, the smile.

I’ve only gone to rest a little while.

Although my leaving causes pain and grief,

my going has eased the hurt and given relief.

So dry your eyes and remember me, not as now, but as I used to be.

I will always remember you And reflect with a smile.

Understand I’ve gone only to rest for a little while.

As long as I have the love of each of you,

I will live in the hearts of all of you.
