Request from Rainbow Bridge

Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night.

Grieve if you will but not for long,
Upon my soul's sweet flight.

I am at peace, my soul's at rest.
There is no need for tears.

For with your love I was blessed
For all those many years.

There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.

Put now these things out of your thoughts.
In your memory I live on.

Remember not my fight for breath,
Remember not the strife.

Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.
