"Weep Not for Me"
Weep not of (sic) me, for I am at peace. My struggle is over for I am with the Lord.
When you miss me, look to the heavens and I shall smile at you, through the twinkle
of the stars. The gentle raindrop, as it brushes against your cheek shall carry my
arms around you, live for me on the earth as I shall live in heaven. Weep not for me,
for I am with the Lord.
