Melanie
In Loving Memory Of A Loving Daughter
I'm nearly at your resting place
And just as I get near,
I swear I hear your voice cry out
Look - I'm over here.
I've brought some lovely flowers
For you my lovely daughter,
I'll only be a minute now
I'll go and get some water.
As I walk across the grass
And place the flowers in the pot,
I say to God, forgive me
But I miss her such a lot.
They say that everything that's wished
Comes to those who wait,
I wish I could gather you in my arms
And run out of that gate
Love You Always Melanie

I Am Waiting
I must leave you for a while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears,
And hug your sorrow to you through the years,
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in my name
Live on, and do all the things the same.
Feed not your loneliness on empty days,
But fill each waking hour with useful ways.
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer,
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near.
And never, never be afraid to die
For I am waiting for you in the sky.
