A Little While

The morning sun will rise again

And trek across the sky.
The evening stars will still come out
To teach your dreams to fly.
The world will still revolve around
The sun, so please don’t cry
If I am not here with you then.
One day we each must die.
 
Please do not weep when I have gone,
Remember me and smile.
For I have lived a joyful life,
If only for a while.
But just a while is all we have,
So live yours without guile
And know that I’ll hug you again
In just a little while.

This came to mind while thinking of, and missing, my parents this Father's Day. My parents always said that crying never solved anything... I think I understand that now.
