Think of me during happy times

When your heart is filled with love,

When you hear a child's laughter

Or see the sun shining brightly above.

Please don't remember me with sadness

Or cry for me with tears,

For all of you have enriched my life

And brought me so much joy.

I've had a great life!

I'll be with each of you always,

In spirit and in prayers.

Just close your eyes and call my name,

Hear my laugh again.

I promise I'll be there.

For life is just a circle, it never truly ends.

Think of this not as "good-bye"

But simply "so long"

Till we meet again.

To my family and friends: Thanks for the Memories,

Love you Forever. Plus one day!

Please Read a book to a child in my memory!
