Grateful Traveler
Remember me with a smile not sorrow,
My time here on Earth was brief,
but o how I lived.
I filled each day with purpose
and tried my best to give
a little piece of who I am
to everyone I knew.
And I found in doing so
the love inside me grew.
But a body has its limits and now I need to rest,
My spirit lives forever though and I have been truly blessed.
I left my mark upon the world and in my little boys.
And what more could I ask of life
than to let me be true to myself and soar,
and when it is my time to go
be proud of who I was
bid me not to stay, my work is done there is no more.
Let me fly free and as you remember me
Share in my journey as I shared in yours.
I am a grateful traveler.
I was only passing through.
But if you keep me in your heart,
I will always live with you.
