live on sweet

Shed only a tear
then lets be done
my passing is only once
so let your heart be at ease
that
to live
is to live
until the “end” we meet

should you have the need to cry
do not feel disheartend
run your hands deep within the sand
know I am the grains
surrounding

Do not for a moment feel
I am not with you
dear

should you see a passing bird
one too small
speckled yellow …golden
it is I who was stopping bye
"hello hello!
you to me are unforgotten

the body you miss
is no more im affriad dear
yet the soul you pray for
is as real

as long as the memory you kept within
how sweet to be loved
so rich is the feeling

so …my love
live on sweet
sweetly live on
know that this, friend
I am
patiently waiting

    the soul you “pay” for—confusing. Did you mean “pray”? Otherwise the poem is nicely quiet, tender, lovingly patient.
