The Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of me as gone away--
my journey's just begun;
life holds so many facets--
this earth is only one.
Just think of me as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how I must be wishing
that we could know, today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of me as living
in the hearts of those I may have touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost --
and know I loved you so much.
