Forever in Your Heart
Feel no guilt in laughter
She knows how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile
That she’s not here to share
You cannot grieve forever
She would not want you to
She’d hope that you would carry on
The way you always do
So talk about the good times
And the ways you showed you cared
The days you spend together
All the happiness you shared
Let memories surround you
A word someone might say
Will suddenly recapture
A time, an hour, a day
That brings her back a clearly
As though she was still there
And fills you up with feelings
That say she’s always near
For if you keep those moments
You will never be apart
And they will live forever
Safely locked within your heart
