Remember Me – To the Living I Am Gone

Margaret Mead

To the living, I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I wil never return,
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.

I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon the shore gazing at a beautiful sea,
As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty,
As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity,
Remember me.

Remember me in your heart;
Your thoughts, your memories,
Of the times we loved,
The times we cried,
The times we fought,
The times we laughed.
For if you always think of me,
I will never have gone.
