REMEMBER ME
To the Living, I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return;
To the angry, I was cheated.
But to the happy, I am at peace.
To the faithful, I have never left.
Talk to me, and I will hear,
Your prayers, they comfort me,
Your laughter makes me laugh,
But don’t weep for me as I have my reward,
I am with the Father and He will never let me perish,
The Lord comforts me, and longs to comfort you.
So be happy my family and don’t despair,
I am in good hands, waiting for the day when
The Lord calls you to come home.
