As sorrow fades, and I know it shall, <br />Know that I rejoice <br />I know that you will miss me, <br />But there should be laughter in your voice <br />When the tears dry up <br />And life goes on <br />It doesn’t mean that you’ve forgotten me <br />And it doesn’t mean I’m gone <br />I live in your heart as a memory, <br />And I would be a happy one <br />I hope to be in your smile, not tears, <br />When all is said and done. <br />If I could take away the grief, <br />Know surely that I would <br />But the knowledge that you’re missing me, <br />Tells me that my life was good <br />To see how I touched your heart <br />more deeply than I even knew <br />I am content in knowing you loved me <br />Just as I loved you <br />Don’t worry for me, <br />For there is no sorrow, here <br />No more pain or misery, <br />No anger and no fear. <br />And now grant me one favor, <br />For all that I did give, <br />What I ask you to do for me, <br />Simply, is to live. <br />Go on, each day, and be glad <br />To feel the sunshine on your face, <br />See new times and do new things, <br />Take my memory to each new place.<br /><br />Lynda Remus<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sorrow-fades/
