Before I Leave You

Before I go
I want you to know,
My life has been blessed.
With all my family and friends.

I will try to take with me
only loving memories.

There have been hard times.
As well as good.

But I had all of you to love me.
To see me through.

Don't cry and be lonely,
Sad or blue.

Just remember the years
we have enjoyed together

Go on without me,
And live life anew.

Look up to heaven,
Where I hope to be.
Remember what I've taught you.
To help lead you through.

Always remember, I love you.
Never forget me.
As I will remember you.

Thank you,
for all the loving memories.
I'll take them with me.
To hold them and keep,
them for all eternity.

Sharing with you memories,
Of a loving wife,
Mother and daughter.

Each of these will remain,
To hold dear.
To keep near to your heart.
To help you and guide you,
through the coming years.

Always remember,
It takes a parent, to become a daughter
A husband to become a wife
Children, to become a mother
To carry you through life.

I'll say goodbye to you now
But always be near to say hello
