Goodbyes

I am not gone, not vanished from this earth
My body went; this spirit lingers on.
All the things that gave my spirit birth
Still live, and I in them, and too, in you.
A smile remembered, half an old embrace
The life that shines upon your lovely face
The trip we took to some forgotten place
I am not gone, I live again in you.
Remember me, for then I live in you.
