Dont spend too much time in mourning
Tears are for the sad
I left to be with Jesus
And that should make you glad.
Dont waste your hours in grieving,
No need to feel distress,
My body was simply tired,
And I had to get some rest.
Dont vex yourself with questions,
Or try to reason why
Life for me has ended,
It came my time to die.
Dont lose the love I gave you,
Feed it with your care.
Grow it with devotion,
And take it everywhere.
Dont fret because my leaving
Came in such a way,
We will have another meeting
In Gods eternal day.
