Don'T Cry
If I happen to die
Don't cry
Even among the strife
I have had a good life
The things I have learned
The lessons hard earned
At times life had burned
Thought I was in too deep
Times I did weep
Picking myself up off the floor
Asked for more
Love I've had
Ended bad
Made me sad
But on I went
Found no one heaven sent
Love , laughter
Hopefully a here ever after
Went so fast
Only memories of the past
To remind
Better left behind
And an unuseful weight
Carring around hate
Weighs you down
In it you can drown
Always you will frown
Over all
I stood tall
Faith, compassion
Always my fashion
Understanding goes a long ways
It helps others get through their tough days
All I know
Hope it does show
Even though i cried
Least I tried
