Remember all the joyful laughter

wirtten by Francesca Muscutt

Don't grieve for me, I am set free
To follow the path laid out for me.
In hospital, with love on every side,
It was my time, I could not hide.

In a spiritual peace I find my rest
Surrounded by all that’s for me the best
Mum, dad and longtime friends I knew
Take my hand to guide me through.

My 50 years were full and must be savoured
Good friends, good times, fully flavoured
Weddings, christenings, parties, quizzes 
Celebrations shared over many fizzes.

And while my time seemed all too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Remember all the joyful laughter
Remember me, happy ever after.
