In Memoriam

Feel no guilt in laughter; he knows how much you care

Feel no sorrow in a smile that he’s not here to share

You cannot grieve forever,

he would not want you to

He’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

A word someone may say

will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day

That brings him back as clearly as though he were still here

And fills you with the feelings that he is always near

For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart

And he will live forever locked safe within your heart.
