In tears we saw you sinking,
And watched you pass away.
Our hearts were almost broken,
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peaceful, free from pain,
How could we wish you back with us,
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
Because remembering her is easy,
but there's an ache within my heart
Don't think of her as gone away
Life holds so many facets
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
Now nothing but our sadness
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she is loved so very much
