Just when you think I’ve gone
Don’t look too hard for me
I am right there in your heart
It’s where I’ll always be
Every milestone in your life
You know that I’ll be there
Cheering you on and loving you
So remember that I care
Do not cry that I am gone
I’ll see you once again
Allow the memories we shared
To soothe away your pain
So blessed to have you in my life
I cherish the time we had
You filled my heart with joy and love
No room left to feel sad
You watch the sailboat drift away
As you stand on one beautiful shore
Smaller and smaller and hard to see
Til the horizon takes it over
With reverent breath you breathe a sigh
Of “there he goes” my chums
When on another beautiful shore
They whisper, “here he comes!”
