Her Journey
Don't think of her as gone
her journey has just begun
Life holds so Many facets
this Earth is only one
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years
Think how she must be wishing
that we can know today how nothing
but our sadness can really pass away
And think of her as living in the
hearts of those she touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost
and she was loved so much.
