Please don't mourn for me,
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day,
And within your heart I will always stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near,
I'm everything you feel, see, and hear.
My spirit is free but I'll never depart,
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'm the first bright blossom
you see in the spring,
The first shiny raindrop that storm clouds bring.
I'm the first ray of light
when the sun starts to shine,
And if you look close,
The face in the moon is mine.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep,
And the beautiful dreams
that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a stranger's face,
Just look for me...
I'm in your heart always!
