 Don’t Cry for me Don’t cry for me when I am gone, and this life progresses to the next... Remember me with smiles and pleasant thoughts. Don’t throw dirt on my grave, as my body lies cold and still and my soul soars... Bury hatred and cruelty and let the anger go, not me. Do not cut flowers to lay on my casket or on my grave they will only fade and rot with time... Plant seeds of happiness instead and let them grow. Don’t shout at the skies, as they pour forth in rain, for when the storm ends... The sun will once more shine and things will seem brighter. Don’t cry for me when I am gone, for in you; I will always live. "When you come to the edge of the light which is all you know. And are about to step off into the darkness that is unknown...Faith is knowing one of two things will happen...there will be something to stand on...or you will learn how to fly." -Unknown Dear God...please give me wings!

How bittersweet. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." -Charles Brugnot |

This is beautiful, Hoot!!! And the poet is too! *G* Now if only those smiles for me won't be of the "thank goodness she's gone and no longer an aggravation!" variety! LOL |

Ruth - this almost akin to Balladeer's 'When I am gone'. I think this is beautiful, my dear. |

This is beautiful Ruth. Reminiscent of Shakespeare: "No longer mourn for me when I am dead ... Nay if you read this line, remember not The hand that writ it, for I love you so That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot ..." Very beautiful. |

Hoot - This is stirring and beautiful. Accentuation with the artwork is captivating. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
