Don't Cry
Don't cry for me unless they're tears of joy,
For 1 am overjoyed.
Don't sing for me unless they're songs of happiness,
For I am oh' so happy.
There is no need for you to worry about me now,
For I am walking with God.
He's been with me through my hardest times.
And helped me through to overcome every odd. So when
you think of my younger days and how I used to be.
Know that above all else the Lord's been good to me.
1 suffer no longer,
1 pain no more.
I've swam across the ocean, now
Fve finally reached the shore.
K. Richardson
