Grieve Not

Grieve not when I have gone away
but think of the wonderful days
I was allowed to stay to be with my family,
other loved ones and friends.

Many thanks to all who gave me courage
to go on when the mountains seemed
too high and I did not feel very strong.

I know I often made mistakes,
but please know that I tried
to give more than I would take.

I loved each of you with all my heart,
so remember only the happy times
before we had to part.
