Do not stand at my graveside and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
My body is gone but my spirit remains.
Please remember this always,so my death's not in vain.
I am the song on the radio as you drive in your car,
I am always right near, never that far.
I am the smile upon Ayden's sweet face,
a constant reminder you cannot erase.
I am the tears of joy in a new fathers eyes.
I am the sweet aroma of freshly baked pies.
I am the laughter of children on a playground at play.
I am with you always...I'm right here today.
I am a lions roar as it puts up a fight,
I am the stars that twinkle on a hot summers night.
I am the rays of sunlight that highlight your hair.
Just picture me now...see...I'm right there.
I am the twinkling glint on new fallen snow,
I am with you always,wherever you go.
Remember the good times...let go of the bad,
go on with your lives...be happy,not sad.
Do do not stand at my graveside and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
"Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Others stay for awhile,leaving footprints on our hearts...
and when they go... we are never, ever, quite the same."
Jeffrey was my stepson for many years;
He was murdered in a senseless act of violence.
I have loved you Jeff, since you were a young boy.
I will love you always.
It saddens me deeply to know that you are no longer
walking amoungst us,
and I will never see your sweet face or beautiful smile again,
The world has truely lost a special person.
