ALWAYS TOGETHER AT HOME
Death is nothing at all…
I've not slipped away afar,
But am where I have always been…
Right there in our home.
Life is more than that we lived,
It's where we've been and go;
It's who we are and those we've
Loved along our way.
I am I and you are you.
The bond we've known and shared
Endures and lives forever:
For we are we and will always be.
Pray smile think often of me…
Why should I be out of mind
Because I am out of sight?
Nay I am I and will ever be!
Pray smile think often of me…
Always my name a household word…
Allow no difference in your tone,
Speak the easy ways I know.
Pray smile think often of me…
Call me by familiar names
Without a trace of sorrow
Speak the easy ways I know.
Pray smile think often of me…
Speak the easy ways I know
Without a trace of shadow
Say the things I know.
Pray smile think often of me…
Know the easy way I speak:
I am waiting in a brief interval
Right here in our home.
Love's unbroken continuity;
All still as it ever was!
For all is well… we are we,
And this we will forever be.
