DO NOT CRY FOR ME MY CHILD

Do not cry for me my child

Dry those tears

I have not gone from your life because you don’t see me

I am the sunshine that chases the rain away

I am the moon that makes the darkness light

You will still feel my soft touch if you are still

You will still feel my love that will never fade

And if you listen I am in your thoughts and you will hear me


Do not cry for my passing from the earth

Celebrate my life and the life that we shared

The laughter, the tears I dried for you

The memories we shared, happy and sad

We got through them together, and we still will


I am not in any pain

I feel healthy and strong

My mind is clear

My knees no longer ache

I can run!

I can laugh!

Please laugh with me


I was here to learn my lessons from life

And now that time has passed

So I am home and I am happy

And when your time comes

I will be waiting with open arms

Until then you love your life so I can see you smile again

And I will walk beside you every day
