Smile Down Upon Me

               We spent so long together,

                But seems it all is past.

               For God has taken you my love,

              May you rest in peace at last 

              So many times you suffered,

               But complaints I never heard.

               For you were truthful to yourself,

             And truthful to God's word

                    You placed your faith in God above,

                    For all those torturous years.

                      Quietly asking for strength in prayer,

                    Never saw you shedding tears

                         You never asked for more from me,

                      Than the love I had for you.

                          Returning your love to me always,

                      With a love that was so true

                         But you've gone to join the Angels now,

                        You deserve the very best.

                      Through life's trials and tribulations,

                      You have passed the hardest test

                 For you loved your fellow man,

               Was there for all to see.

                All I ask of you from now,

                Is to simply smile on me

                    You are in our God's presence now,

                    I'm sure with God you're reminiscing.

                   So please ask God on my behalf,

                  For a smile, and he will listen

                   Smile down upon me from above,

                To help me tote the load.

                 Until I come to meet you,

                     When it's time to leave this road

              Just knowing that your smile is there,

            Will erase the pain I bear.

           The pain of loneliness I have,

         With no one here to share

            I may be so very lonely,

             And feel life has no worth.

               But I know you're smiling on me,

            While I am here on Earth

            Smile down upon me Angel,

            Get all the other Angels too.

             To send their smiles towards me,

         So I can smile for you

                For I know when you are smiling,

               For I know that smile I'll see.

              So please my love I ask you,

              To simply smile down on me
