Dont' spend too much time in mourning. Tears arefor the sad.
I left to he 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 yourself with questions, or try to reason why.
Life herefor 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'tfret because my leaving came in such a way We'll have another meeting in God's Eternal Day.
