Every shining star once must fade away;
'Tis the law of nature, nothing gold can stay.
But even in this darkness you are not alone,
Just because I'm not here doesn't mean I'm gone.
Smile for me dear and try to understand,
I'll be forever happy in this new enchanted land.
And please don't cry for me, now I'm better off.
I'll be here with you as long as you keep me in your thoughts.
Never lose your hope and be all you can be;
Now has come the time for you to set me free.
You only live life once, so live it the best you can.
You must let go of my heart as Jesus takes me by the hand.
Remember me each day in spring when you see daylillies bloom.
And don't forget that one day again I'll forever be with you.
Now I have to leave, my dear, and go to life above,
Where there is no pain and hate, only peace and love.
I hope you are successful, always happy and free,
Always remember that I love you and please stay strong for me.
