Family and Friends
Don 't spend too much time in mourning; Tears are for the sad.
I left to be with Jesus and This should make you glad.
Don 't waste your hours in grieving; No need to feel distress.
I'm tired oflife's frustrations And had to get some rest.
Don 't lose the love I gave you; Feed it with your care.
Grow it with devotion and Spread it everywhere.
Don 't fret because my leaving Came in such a way.
We 'll have another meeting In God's Eternal Day.
