Before I Leave

When I am gone, don't feel alone,
My memories will stay, even if I am far away,

Though I may rest in heaven above,
you will be blessed with all my love

My love for you will not end here,
It will linger in the air, forever in the atmosphere,

Present in every gentle breeze,
Whispering love and care through the trees.

When I am gone, don't cry like a child.
Remember my smile, gentle and mild.
I'll shine among the stars each night,
Just wave to me beneath their light.

Sitting up there I'll watch with care,
Always beside you, everywhere.
You are the apple of my eyes—

I love you to the moon, Oh! my boy

Before I go, I want to say:
Stand up for yourself, don't just obey.
Trust your heart and all that you do,
Your soul is kind, honest, and true.

You are a gem, an empath, so precious and rare,
Beyond all words, beyond compare.
So when you think of me, in future someday,
know that your mom loved you,

 will love you always...
