Grieve not for me when I am gone.
I've lived my life as best I can.
My love I've tried to share
With each of you I treasure so.
But someday soon, my path will rise
And where it leads, I'll gladly go.
So when within, you start to grieve,
Grieve not too long and not too deep.
And when you can, Rejoice with me.
For I shall know and you will come to see
The grief you feel can only mean
A part of me was left behind,
Entwined within your heart.
And as you love your treasured ones,
The ones I never knew,
My love with yours to them will go
And they shall feel its touch.
So once your time has also come
And you have walked the rising path,
The grief within they too will feel
But not too deep and not too long
For soon our treasured ones will come to see
A part of you and part of me
Entwined within their hearts.
