**IF**

If someday, you look for me;
And find that I'm not here.
Be assured that I'm still with you;
Know that I am near.

If you cannot sleep at night;
Knowing I am gone.
Please know deep within your heart;
That you have done no wrong.

If you regret that we had no time;
To finally say "Good-bye"
Do not worry, I'm still with you;
Dry that tear within your eye.

If you worry that I'll speak no more;
Or see the love upon your face;
Just know that we will meet again;
In a beautiful, happy place!

If I never got the chance to tell you;
How much you mean to me.
Just read the words upon this page;
And then you'll plainly see!

If anytime you're feeling sad;
Or miss our endless love.
Read this poem again outloud;
And I'll smile on you from above.
