Last Happy Words

Don't be upset that i'm gone
There is no reason to be torn
Even though I may be dead
Let no sad words be said

I’m not leaving much behind
I'll be back soon to find
The message I am here to say
Is keep enjoying your day
Maybe even start to play

Happiness appears every now and then.
We don't know when it will appear again,
but when it does, savour every hour
because happiness carries such power.
