Do Not Weep

Do not weep for me, for I will soon be gone
My body may die, but my soul will live on
Perhaps up to heaven maybe eternity
Or be reborn as another when I am set free

Do not weep for me, for I will soon be gone
I was a survivor since my first breath was drawn
I loved and was loved by animals and man
Siblings, friends and strangers since my life began

If you fear dying, you will not live a full life
As pain and dread will cut through like a knife
Live each day with joy while you are here on this earth
Make each day count with compassion and glee

Do not weep for me, for I will soon be gone
My body may die but my soul will live on
I will leave all of you with my love, and I pray
Our souls will touch once again someday
