Do not mourn for me when I’m dead
My decaying body is nothing but biology
Be happy for me that my road ended
And much I’ve labored and time we’ve shared
Read these lines and these lines for you
My undying heart I’ve pieced for our love
I’m not in a grave, I’m in the heaven’s air
I’m in your joy, and in your sweet hum
Remember our happy days, relive those days
Feed our stray cats, water the sidewalk plants
Doze in rocking chair or read old books
Go for a walk and hear the birds sing our memory
Do not mourn for me when I’m dead
I live in your joy, you’ll find me there
