Violet HoltApril 14, 1915 - September 20, 2012

Weep not for me when I am gone,But think of me with love.

No pain or problems linger onThough I’m with our Lord above

I’ll never really leave youI’m the sun each dawn,

Each windsong and each drop of dewOn the grass of the lawn.

I’m each breeze to kiss your face,I’m each blossom on the ground

Each churchbell calling you to grace.Each butterfly around.

My love is in the rain that fallsSo gently on your head

I am the nightengale that callsIn the night where I’m lead.

I’m in the whisper of the wind,The touch upon your cheek.

The dusk that daily doth descendWhen Sol his bed must seek.I’m in the ripple of the stream

That laughs as it goes byI give my love in each nights dream

That fades as day is nigh.Weep not for me beside my grave

I am not belowCome celebrate with me: be brave

For I’m with God, you know.Composed by Lelah
