When I'm gone,
do not sorrow.
For I am still here-
waiting, watching,
proctecting.
Don't worry.
There's no need to say goodbye.

Don't miss me when I'm gone, for you have an entire life ahead of you. Do not sorrow, do not fret, the best of your life hasn't come yet.

This is good but a little short. What you put in the quotes would have been a good addition to the poem. Keep up the good work (:
