Smile For Me

Smile for me, I'm going away soon.
To a place where time has no meaning.
To where eternity is but an instant.
And yet never comes.

There are handprints on my soul
from where you have held my hand.
Do not grieve for me.
I go to a better place.

If mere death can't stop me,
what else can?
I'll will live on
in the memories of others.

Smile when you think of me.
I will when my thoughts turn to thee.
I had such love for you.
But don't worry, I'll still be around.

I see my fingerprints on your heart and soul.
It is somewhat difficult to go.
But I find I must.
Others have more need of me.

As I tread this path,
I am happy that I had found you.
You held my hand
and became quite the fan.

Time is short. I must get going.
But I just had to share these words
and let you know how I feel.
Remember me and smile for me.
