Don't cry for me today, I wouldn't want it this way. Be strong and smile, for you will see me in a while. I know you miss me, but now in Heaven I will be. Do not keep your sad face, I am in a much better place. Do not let your tears fall, for I cannot wipe them all. Yes, my life wasn't long. But I'm begging you to be strong. Live every moment as if it were your last, I won't forget any memories that have passed. Cherish life and love as I watch you from above. As I remember all of the good things, I come to see I have gotten my wings. It is time to go and fly, as your guardian angel I will try. Don't cry for me today, I'm on my way. Soaring through the sky, I watch all of you telling me goodbye.
Love you - Ida K.
