I see your tears,
and hear your cries of sorrow...
Share your grief and loneliness for now,
and comfort one another,
as it must be...
But when tomorrow dawns
think on my smiles,
the laughter and the tears we shared
when I walked this Earthly Path...
Lift a cup for me
when ere your thoughts return
to days and times we walked together...
But do not weep long, my Loves...
I am with you
in every breath of Wind,
every drop of Rain,
every Sun that sets,
every Star that shines...
I walk now with the Ancestors,
awaiting you, my Beloved Ones...
We shall meet again
to walk hand in hand
on the misty, shining Shores...
For all Eternity.
