Please don’t sing sad songs for me
Forget your grief and fears
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears
I’m far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride
I have a place in heaven with the master at my side
My life on earth was very good
As earthly lives can go
But paradice is so much more
than anyone could know
My heart is filled with happiness
and sweet rejoicing too
to walk with God is perfect peace
A joy forever new. hugs.
