No Tears

Weep not for me though I am gone
into the gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long
upon my soul's sweet flight.
There is no need for tears.
I am at peace, my soul is at rest.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
for with your love I was so blessed.
I am in a place of comfort,
the fear now is gone.
Put those things in 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.
