All Smiles

No matter how many tears i shed
Not even an atom can bring you
Neither can the river that i cry.
If i were the chosen child
I would not want to see anyone cry
Instead, I would like to see you smile.
If i were the chosen child
I would not want to see anyone cry
I would not want my memories to bring tears.
If I were the chosen child
I would like to see you all laughing
I would like my memories to bring laughter.
Although i am not the chosen child
I know deep down in my heart
That you would not want to bring tears.
Throughout your life, you strived to bring joy
It gave us a motivation and a goal
Now it gives us pleasure to see you rest.
Your legacy will go on for many generations to come
Never will it be forgotten.
Now as we r to see you off
We will cry tears of sadness and joy
But we will always remember you in smiles.

    An ode to a loved one passed! They’d be proud to listen to this one on the other side!
