Light a candle and remember me 
But not with teary eyes
Raise your head upwards 
My kingdom is in the skies 
I am the warmth that touches you
On a sunny summer day 
I am the breeze that caresses you 
From near and far away 
I draw you pictures in the clouds 
So that you might know 
I am at peace and watching you
 On earth not far below 
Please open up your heart 
So another creature may see 
What it is to be loved
 The way you loved me 
Bring out my old ball 
My dishes and favorite toy
 Don't let them go to waste 
They can bring so much joy
All you do is close your eyes 
Raise your head upwards 
I'll be listening from the skies
