Weep not for me
though I am gone
Into that gentle night
Grieve if you will,
but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace,
my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears.
For with your love
I was so blessed
For all those many years.
There is no pain,
I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone. P
ut now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.
