Dont
Don t spend too much time mourning Tears are for the sad I left to be with Jesus
And this should make you glad Dont waste your hours in grieving
No need to feel distress Im tired oflifesfrustrations
I had to get some rest Don t vex yourselfwith questions
Or try to reason why Lif/ e f/or me has ended It came my time to die Dont lose the love I gave you
Feed it with care, Grow it with devotion And spread it everywhere Don tfret because my leaving Came in such a way We will have another meeting In Gods eternal day!
