So I am glad not that my loved one has gone,

But that the earth she laughed and lived on was my earth ,too.

That I had known and loved her,

And that my love I'd shown.

Tears over her departure?

Nay, a smile.....

That I had walked with her a little while.

*

I will see you in Heaven my girl.

I never let him speak your name.

Laid to rest
