WHEN I AM GONE
When I am gone, don't call me back
My life on earth will be no more
Peace I leave you, for my last act.
I'm now beyond this earthly door.
I'll miss your laughter. Tears will fall
But look within your aching heart;
Loving memories there, recall.
Hearts stay together, bodies must part.
I thank you for the love we've known.
Please know that alway I'll be near.
And though I take this step alone,
My soul's whisper I know you'll hear.
Live your life with courage and love.
Continue the fight you've begun.
Proudly, I'll watch you from above,
Knowing, through death, Life I have won.Author Unknown
