An Inch Too Short To Touch

Don’t remember me with sadness,
Don’t remember me with tears,
Remember all the laughter
We’ve had throughout the years.
Do the things we did before,
The same in every way,
Just whisper a little prayer to me
At the dawn of every day.
Just think of me as present,
Don’t think of me as past,
For love is a blessing,
In death it still can last.
Forget your troubles and your worries
They’re mine for evermore.
I’ll watch and care and love you
From Heaven’s open door,
And when your road gets rough and rocky,
Or you’re down and need a crutch,
Remember I’m right beside you,
Just an inch too short to touch.
