"Remember Me As I Rest"

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,
but remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles,
I've only gone to rest a while.
Although my leaving causes pain and grief,
my going away has provide much relief.
God wrapped me in His arms and called my name,
to begin my time of rest,
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
So dry your eyes and remember me,
not as I am now, but as I used to be.
I will remember you all and look on with a smile,
understand in your hearts
I've only gone to rest for a while.
As long as I have the love of each of you
my life lives on in your hearts, so bright and so true.
