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.

By Robert Louis Stevenson Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you gave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from the […]
Always remember to forget The things that made you sad. But never forget to remember The things that made you glad. Always remember to forget The friends that proved untrue. But never forget to remember Those that have stuck by you. Always remember to forget The troubles that passed away. But never forget to remember […]
