Martinez -- Mr. Ruben Martinez Grieve not for me although I'm gone, Through laughter not tears shall my memory carry on. I've left this body filled with pain, I'm now with the rainbow, Past the rain. I know your hearts are breaking and tears flowing down. But know that I'm with you, you need only turn around I will be that soft whisper that you hear in the wind I'll be that warm comfort when the winter begins. At night if you find that you can not sleep, I'll Place my loving arms around you, and catch the tears that you weep. Mourn not for me although I'm not here I am now at peace and no longer have fear. I can run I can walk and dance with such grace And oh if you could only see the beauty of our Lord's face. Here there is no suffering, sickness, or end, How glad I am to be reunited with lost family and friends The grass here is greener, the streams much more clear If only you knew how happy I am here. Please wipe the tears from you eye. My body is dead but I did not die. Forever shall I live on in your hearts. May my memory bring you comfort now that we are apartLove you Grampa Ruben, Christina Martines
