Do Not Weep
Do not stand by my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on the snow.
I am the sunlight and ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning- hush!
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand by my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I'm free.
Don't grieve for me, for I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things, I too shall miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full. I savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief:
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me.
God wanted me now.
He set me free. |
We Love you, Tom!
