Fill Not Your Heart

Fill not your heart with pain and sorrow,

but remember me in every tomorrow.

Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles,

I’ve only gone to rest a little while.

Although my leaving causes pain and grief,

my going has eased my hurt

and given me relief.

So dry your eyes and remember me

not as I am now, but as I used to be.

Because I will remember you all

and look on with a smile,

Understand, in your hearts,

I’ve only gone to rest a little while.

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

I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.
