I know that it must be different,
now that I am no longer here.
I realize how much I was loved
and how all of you did care.
I know it will be hard at first
when you look around for me.
Expecting to find me in my bed or
beside my favorite tree.
Someday you will begin to see,
although it’ll take some time,
the happy times you shared with me,
the memories are yours and mine.
I’ll remember you, my family,
and how much you meant to me.
So, please don’t grieve and don’t be sad,
it was just my time to leave.
