REMEMBERING COLUMBIA
Do not Cry for me...

Do not cry for me...my spriit flies among the stars
look up, feel me touch your face
my love
carried by the warmth of the sun,
embracing you- I am here.

Remember me by enjoying life
see me in the everyday things
Remember me- honour me-
by living as I would live
by laughing as I would laugh
and by honouring the cause
for which I gave my life.

I am an explorer,
not limited by the boundaries of earth and time...
I have golden wings and
my eyes are filled with stars and brilliant lights
filled by the universe and all its wonders...
my only regret now is the pain you feel.

Do not wear black,
do not weep and mourn
celebrate my spirit
celebrate my courage
and give my memory life
through the joy my memory brings.

Rejoice in my life
in my love,
do not cry for me...
laugh, live!
and look, as I did, to the sky.
