Death is not the end

It's only the beginning

Much bigger then we think

My love is everlasting

It's going to be hard

Because I'm not here

I'll be with you in spirit

In your thoughts

In your prayers

Even in your dreams

Please don't cry for me

Don't say your good-byes

There's no such thing

I'll be in your heart

For all eternity

Remember the good ol'times

With a smile on my face

I'm not six feet under

I'm all over the place

We will meet again

When he calls you home

The wind is my voice

The water's my flow

You may ask yourself

Why did he call for me

He only takes the best

Now my spirits set free

~Craig Sechrist, Jr.
