Don't cry for me when I am gone, I have been here too long
My life has been blessed now it is time to rest hopes and dreams have been done
Things for me I have won, sent me flowers when I am alive I have survived
Fortune and fame was not for me, but I was busy as a bee
Now it is time to see the light, I will make this flight
Happy not sad I am ready to go not mad
Smile and say I did my job on earth I showed my love when I gave birth
Six wonderful children who grew up to be lovely and happy as you can see
No tears should be shed when I am laid into th bed
I know my Lord is waiting for me, He told me just wait and see
I will unite with my long gone family
Mary J. Rockett, 2009
