Think about my loving, tender care
My presences and my sweetness
how we laughed a lot.
Remember all the memories we made
the fun, mischievous things we did
lucky we never got in trouble.
Remember I watch from a far
so don't be sad, depressed and gloomy
Go on with your days as if I were still around.
Remember many days still await you
Enjoy the days, nights, stars and
how they shine and sparkle.
I too have enjoyed the glistening night sky.
Remember I have enjoyed my life too
its amazing I've made it through
the lessons I have learnt so far
Shocked, I pulled through and
made it this far.
