Odessa Parr

Fill not your heart 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 has eased my hurt

and given me relief.

So dry your eyes and remember me,

Not as I am now, but as I used to be.

Because, I will remember you all

And look on with a smile.

Understand in your hearts,

I've only gone to rest a little while.

As long as I have the love

of each of you,

I can live my life in the hearts

of all of you.
