Weep Not for Me Weep not for me though I am gone Into the gentle nights Grieve if you will, but not for long Upon my souls’ sweet flight I am at peace, my soul is at rest There is no need for tears For, with your love I was so proud and blessed There is no pain I suffer not The fear now all is gone Put those things out of your thoughts In your memory, I will live on Remember not my fight for breath Remember not the strife Please do not dwell upon me and my death BUT CELEBRATE MY LIFE!!
