"Hope

              "Hope"

Weep not for me, when I go;

It will hurt, this I know.

Look toward Heaven, with a smile,

Remember me...once in a while. 

Please do not grieve for me,

Just be happy...and always be,

Full of hope...and tenderness;

Touch the world, let it be blessed.

If you should...think of me;

Know I am as happy, for God I see.

Hold your tears...and just thank fate;

I found the Lord, before...it was too late.
