She knows how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile,
That she’s not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever,
She would not want you to.
She’d hope that you can carry on,
the way you always do.
So talk about the good times and
the ways you showed you cared.
The days you spent together,
All the happiness you shared,
Let memories surround you.
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time,
an hour, a day,
That brings her back as clearly,
As though she were still here,
and fills you with the feelings,
That she is always near.
For if you keep these moments,
You will never be apart,
and she will live forever,
Locked safe within your heart.
