Don't
Dont' spend too much time in mourning. Tears are fo r the sad.
1 left to be with Jesus and that should make you glad. Don't waste your hours in grieving, no need tofeel distress.
I'm tired o f life's frustrations and had to have some rest. Don't vex yourselfwith questions, or try to reason why.
Life here fo r me was ended, it came my time to die. Don't lose the love I gave you, feed it with your care.
Grow it with devotion and spread it everywhere. Don'tfre t because my leaving came in such a way We'll have another meeting in God's Eternal Day.
