Farewell

The sand of time are running low And soon my children I must go My heart with love for you is filled But soon its beating must be stilled I leave no treasures of any kind Only my love I leave behind Take it and share it between sister and brother And always be kind to one another Weep not beside the grave for me Don't bring me flowers I cannot see Only ashes lie neath the cold sod Just pray that my soul has gone with God Some of you perhaps may weep When my eyes are closed in eternal sleep But try to remember it won't be forever For God can bring our spirits together I pray that I go to a world far above To be with the others that I love And to wait awhile on that Heavenly plain Until the day we shall meet again
