As You Pass My Way

Darkness settles all around
As voices fade away
Echoes of their silent prayers
Will linger through the day
I say that I am sleeping
My destiny’s fulfilled
I wish that I could bear your sorrow
For now, I have no wounds to heal
Flowers are placed upon
And people close their eyes
They hold each other’s hand for comfort
As my image passes by
Remember me, my friends, with a smile,
And hold me near your heart
Learn a lesson from this day
Because our souls will never be apart
Look to stars and continue the search for meaning
And remember well this day
Just think of what our friendship meant
Each time you pass my way
My heart cries out to touch you
I would love to hold you near
And tell you I am happy now
For peace, I have found here
