BE NOT SAD

Why do the tears stain your face this day
For I am only on another plane?
And when you wish, I am here with you
When you do dream

When you feel gentle breezes on your face
Know it is I who do caress it so
And show you that my love has not departed
Only changed in form

And when your objects move around the home
Know I am teasing you to cheer your day
So laugh and know I still keep an eye
In case you need me

Think only of me as I was when well
And let the joy of remembrance fill you
For I do not want you to waste one day on sorrow
That can be saved for others who do need it

Know this that love does never leave
But follows whither the loved one goes
And my love will forever be yours
Until the day we meet again once more
