There was no time to say goodbye But this I ask – please do not cry Remember me as you think best The happy time – forget the rest. Look for me and I’ll be there And you will find me everywhere In the gentle touch of breeze That cools the skin or swirls the leaves. In the scent and colour of flowers That gave to me such happy hours On sunny days under sunny skies of blue Just think of me, I’ll be with you. In winter when there’s cloud or mist The rain will give to you my kiss As wood smoke lingers in the air Look for me and I’ll be there. Where seagulls cry above the sea And surf rolls in so endlessly Among towering trees that soar above In all these things that i once loved Look for me and I’ll be there You’ll feel my presence everywhere.

We little knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.
