Don'T Come To My Funeral

Don't come to my funeral
To see me once I die
If you never gave me tenderness
Or comfort when I cried

Don't come to my funeral 
To wail and sob for me
If you never spared the time
To share a cup of tea

Don't come to my funeral
To brag about my life
If you were not around to help
To quell my pain and strife

Don't come to my funeral 
To mourn about my fate
If you did not remember me
Until it was too late

Don't come to my funeral;
I do NOT want you there
If you would never even tried 
To show me that you cared.
