Feel no guilt in laughter,
he'd know how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile
that he is not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever;
he would not want you to.
He'd hope that you could carry on
the way you always do.
So, talk about the good times
and the way you showed you cared,
The days you spent together,
all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you,
a word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture
a time, an hour, a day,
That brings him back as clearly
as though he were still here,
And fills you with the feeling
that he is always near.
For if you keep those moments,
you will never be apart
And he will live forever
locked safely within your heart.
