Weep not for me

Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell

among the wonders of the earth; for my larger

self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other

side of pain…on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine

that touches your skin, a tropical breeze

upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart

and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your

hour of need, I will be there to comfort you.

I will share your tears, your joys, your fears,

your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled

in the arms of God. I walk with the angels,

and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;

I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses

the flowers. I am the calm that follows a

raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats

among the garden of God, and I am pure

white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die,

as long as you remember me…

with a smile and a sigh.
