WEEP NOT FOR ME
Weep not for me and all my labors,
Nor for this body so bent and sore.
Weep not for my soul for I am going
To a place where I will toil no more.
Think not that I have gone away;
And think not of the races I have run.
But remember me fondly on this day
And think of the victory l have won!
George Jones
