Don’t Weep For Me
Life is a celebration of the living
A time for joy and sometimes sadness
A time for loving and learning
Death is
a celebration for the living
A time of great sadness and longing
A time of remembrance and wishful thinking.
We aren’t given any guarantees
of greatness
And my life had its sorrows and troubles
I did my best, and then asked for forgiveness
Death need not be full of sorrow
But can be a celebration of everlasting life
No longer burdened by tomorrow
I wish my death to be a time of celebration
I have experienced
the joy of loving and giving
And I received abundant compensation
Don’t weep for me, even though I am gone
Lift your glass and toast
to our memories
Celebrate life - for I am at home
