"I Am Not Gone"

I remain here beside you

Just in a different form

Look for me in your heart

And there you will find me

In our love which forever lives on.


In those moments when you feel alone

Look for me in your thoughts

And there you will find me

In sweet memories that burn strong.


Every time a tear forms

In your beautiful eyes

Look up to the Heavens

and there you will see me

Smiling down from God's glorious skies
