You’ve crossed over the clouds to the other shore,
But inside my heart your memory will survive.
Never will you be forgotten, for within me you’ll stay;
For all eternity, your spirit will remain alive.
Though I can’t touch you, I feel your strength
And your love surrounds me like the air you once breathed.
I know you’ll be with me always, walking by my side;
In the glowing light from your soul I’ll be wreathed.
Someday I’ll see you again in that place of peace,
Where the sun shines brighter than I’ve ever known.
Until then, the warmth of your love will consume me,
For you’re a part of me; I’m not forsaken or alone.
