Her Journey's Just Begun…
Don't think of her as gone away
Her journey has just begun
Life holds many facets
The Earth is only one
Just think of her as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness
can really pass away
And think of her as living
In the hearts of
those she touched
For nothing loved
is ever lost-
And she was
loved so much
