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,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore,
gazing at a beautiful sea-
remember me.
As you look in awe at a mighty
forest and its grand majesty-
remember me.
As you look upon a flower and
admire its simplicity
remember me.
Remember me in your heart, your
thoughts,
your memories of the times we
loved,
the times we cried, the times we
fought,
the times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will
never be gone.
