DON'T
Don't spend too much time in mourning
Tears are for the sad
I left to be with Jesus
This should make you Glad.
Don't waste your hours grieving
No need to feel distress
I've lived a life of Joy and now I've gone to rest
Don't burden yourself with questions
Or try to reason why
Life here for me has ended
But I will never die
Don't lose the love I gave you
Feed it with your care
Grow it with devotion
And spread it everywhere.
Don't fret because my leaving
Came in this way,
We'll see each other in heaven in a brand new day.
