Be happy for me
Written by Maureen Sheridan

To my lovely aunt who died from cancer.

I'm sliding along a rainbow, and the feeling as I glide
So free from my pain and suffering,
And the tears I tried to hide

I'm gliding along a rainbow, and my heart  bursting with glee
It's a truly joyous journey
So be happy that I am free.

I'm gliding along on a rainbow, and at last am laughing loud
The colours just get brighter, oh look, I've past a cloud.

I'm gliding on a rainbow, so young and so carefree,
And as I look I smile cause there's a bluebird following me.

I'm gliding along on a rainbow, and am singing my favourite song,
So dry your tears, be happy for me and try to sing along.

As I glide along the rainbow, I see the light has grown,
So keep me warmly in your hearts, as I enter my new home.
