Nick Bagnall Poet Rhyme

Do Not Mourn For Me

Do not mourn for me

Raise the flags full mast
With some knickers tied below
And would that someone laughed
A seed of hope I'd sow

A seed of hope which grows within
one day bears fruit enough to fill
A broken heart that's suffering
And drive away the chill

Do not mourn for me

Fill your glass to the brim
Think upon your favourite day
And should the memory start to dim
Remember love will always stay

Remember love never ends
No matter how far it seems
So as your soul slowly mends
I'll visit in your dreams

Do not mourn for me

Think of all the silly things
The songs, the jokes, the pranks we played
Your smile once more I hope it brings
I wish I could have stayed

I wish I could be with you now
And let you know that all is well
Remember that somewhere, somehow
I'm laughing still

Tony Lane November 25, 2011 at 7:09 AM Good one Nick. I always tell people that for my funeral I want people to tell the funny dumb stuff that they saw me do. I assume I will end up with the longest funeral on record.
