They are not dead, Who leave us this great heritage
Of remembered joy.
They still live in our hearts, In the happiness we knew,
In the dreams we shared.
They still breathe, In the lingering fragrance windblown,
From their favourite flowers.
They still smile in the moonlight’s silver
And laugh in the sunlight’s sparkling gold.
They still speak in the echoes of words
We’ve heard them say again and again.
They still move, In the rhythm of waving grasses,
In the dance of the tossing branches.
They are not dead; Their memory is warm in our hearts,
Comfort in our sorrow.
They are not apart from us, But a part of us
For love is eternal,
And those we love shall be with us, Throughout all eternity.
**************************************************
For a second you were flying; Like you always wanted to
Now you’ll fly forever; In skies of azure blue
We’ll see your smile in every ray; Of sunshine after rain
And hear the echo of your laughter; Over all the pain
The world’s a little quieter now; The colours have lost their hue
The birds are singing softly;And our hearts are missing you
Each time we see a little cloud; Or a rainbow soaring high
We’ll think of you and gently; Wipe a tear from our eye
****************************************************
As you were you will always be, Treasured forever in our memory.

When I am Gone …
When I come to the end of my journey; And i have traveled my last weary mile;
Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned;
And only remember my smile...
Forget unkind words I have spoken;
Remember the good I have done;
Forget I ever had a heartache;
And remember I have had loads of fun...
Forget I have stumbled and blundered;
And sometimes fell by the way;
Remember I have fought some hard battles and won,
at the close of the day...
Then forget to grieve for my going;
I would not have you sad for a day;
But in summer just gather some flowers;
And remember the place where I lay…

We Never said "Goodbye"
We never got the chance to say "We Love You"
We never got the chance to say "We will Miss You"
Nobody told us you were going to die,
It Hurts so much, we never said “Good-bye”
Where are u now? Please talk to me,
Show yourself and let us see,
I know that can’t happen, no matter how hard we try
All we wanted to do - is say "Good-bye".
I hope you are happy, Wherever you are,
We have u in our Heart, no matter how far,
To the heavens above, We wish we could Fly
Only to give you a warm hug Good-bye.
We will remember you each day that we live,
You were such a good person, with so much to give
Such a privilege to have known u, no-one can deny,
I think it might be time to say "Good-bye"
We will keep with us, the good times that we shared,
We want you to know - How much we really cared,
Till we meet again, on faith we must rely,
We Love You, We Miss You and for now, "Good-bye."

My friend has gone away
No more will we laugh and play
No more games and whispered secrets shared
No more comfort knowing she cared
My friend is dead and gone
Never again to tag along
With me to the park or mall
Or have a sleepover or do anything at all
I wish that I could have said goodbye
Told her I would miss her; somehow I must try
I have so much left to say
I know! I will write my goodbye and send it her way
In a note written down, then sent by fire and flame,
In a bottle on the sea, or a gift by her grave
Or perhaps I will whisper it, and send it on a prayer
And imagine her reading it and knowing I care
My friend has died, nothing that can change.
But at least now I have said goodbye
Farewell, dear friend; I will hold your memory in my heart
So as long as I live, we are never truly apart.
**********************************************
Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever in my heart
