Celebration of Life Poem

Fill not your hearts
with pain and sorrow,
but remember me in every tomorrow.

Remember the joy, the laughter,
the smiles.
I've only gone to rest a little 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.
