Analysis of Smile For Me
Danyettia Crawford 1985 (United States)
Smile for me for now I am at peace
Don't shed a tear of sorrow although your hearts will miss me
I know it seems our time together was cut to short
But even though I'm not physically here know I left each of you a piece of my heart
We knew this day and time would come as this is a journey we all must take
But know even in the midst of it all I smile knowing I had each of you along the way
Smile for me because I cry for you
I am now free from the pain I was going through
We shared many years of laughter and sometimes pain
But know i loved every moment even the ones I couldn't change
Smile for me for my heart no longer aches
I know you will miss me but let our memories fill that empty space
Smile for me because I smile for you
God gave me time to create life and enjoy moments like loving you
I know this isn't the way you wanted things to go
and I to struggled to let go
God had a bigger plan and needed me more
I'll save a seat for each of and I'll greet you at heaven door
Smile for me my love ones and my friends
I now got my wings but that doesn't mean this is the end
Smile for me!
