Please don't cry
Don't shed one single tear
For the battle is won.
Now my journey has begun
But fear not - I do not travel alone.
On this journey, there are things
That must be left behind
Things such as pain, sickness
And of course a troubled mind.
It is a journey of peace, a journey
Of love; it is a journey that
All God's children will someday
Have pleasure of.
So dry your tears.
Please try to smile
And I'll be waiting at the gate
When you too have gone that last mile.

Your poem, in its simplicity, said so much and so inspiring and uplifting it is by far a lot better than what I wrote. I think this should be posted in some professional offices, like the suicidal prevention center, or some places like that.
Great job!!!!
