Bury me in the spring When all the world’s in bloom And cherry blossoms fall like snow Neath the mantel of the moon Weeping should be disallowed Only the happy countenance here For if you gather to remember me Cast off the wayward tear This is a celebration Of what was, not what’s to come And laughter should outweigh the tears When our time on earth is done Regardless of what we think we know Funerals are for the living As for those of us already dead No secrets are we giving So remember me in the days to come With laughter when the fog is thick For I’ve written upon my tombstone “I told you I was sick” |

Wow! I just lost someone very dear to me. Almost his exact words. DEFINITELY his way of looking at things. Thank you so much. QA |

The way persons should be remembered and celebrated. You put into words my feelings. Thankyou. "This is a celebration Of what was, not what’s to come And laughter should outweigh the tears When our time on earth is done" |

@ LivingConfused- Thank you. I have often thought of funerals as a celebration of ones life. I understand both points I guess but the very fact that we die points out to me at least how precious our time here together truly is and that we should be ever thankful for it. |
