Hush

Hush my darlings, hush be still
I had to leave you it was God’s will
Hush my darlings do not cry
For I am standing here right by

I have not gone for good you see
I am always right here and join for tea
But alas you cannot see me and all that I give
Hush my darlings I am not dead I still live

When you feel down or very low
I will pick you up as I did below
There will be joy and laughter in your heart
When you realize that we are never apart

You will sing and dance once more again
Bright sunshine will fill you instead of rain
I live I live I live to tell these
Just a thought you need to remember me

In each flower plant or bird you see
We are all part of this you and me
So look at all things with gentle love and care
We will meet again I am just waiting there

Remember the good times never the bad
We loved together and shared the sad
Remember how precious and dear you are to me
Remember I am right here with you if only you could see.

You toiled so hard for those you loved. You said goodbye to none, your spirit flew before we knew, your work on earth was done. We miss you now, our hearts are sore, as time goes by we miss you more. Your loving smile, your gentle face: no one can fill your vacant place. Your […]
I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one, I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before […]
