Remember me with smiles not tears for all the joy throughout the years, don’t dwell on thoughts that cause us pain, we will see each other again. I am at peace try to believe, it was my time I had to leave. But what a view I have from here, I see your face and feel you near. Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.
