Grieve Not For Me

Grieve not for me, though I am gone,

For I am with you still.

God grant you strength to carry on

And understand His will.

A soft tear shed from time to time,

Will ease your sorrowed mind.

But live your life as fully

As you helped me live mine.

Time will heal the hurting heart

Faith will see you through.

There’s still a life left for you to live,

With courage, I leave you.

Remember me with thoughts of peace.

Live each day with your heart.

Grieve not for me, though I am gone,

We’re never far apart.
