#31 As you love me
As you love me, let there be no mourning when I go,
No tearful eyes, No hopeless sighs, No woe, or even sadness!
Indeed I would not have you sad,
For I myself shall be full glad,
With the high triumphant gladness
Of a soul made free Of God's sweet liberty
No Windows darkened
For my own Will be flung wide as ne'er before,
To catch the radiant inpour Of Love
that shall in full atone For all the ills that I have done;
And the good things left undone;
No voices hushed;
My own, full flushed
With an immortal hope,
will rise In ecstasies of new born bliss And joyful melodies.
Rather, or your sweet courtesy,
Rejoice with me
At my soul's loosing from captivity.
With me, bon voyage, as you do a friend
Whose joyous visit finds it happy end
And bid me both A Dieu and Au revoir.
Since, though I come no more,
I shall be waiting there to greet you At His Door.
And, as the feet of The Bearers tread The ways I trod,
Think not of me as dead, But rather happy.
Thrice happy, he whose course is sped!
He has gone home - to God, His Father
“According to most studies, people's number one
fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that
sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral,
you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”. Jerry Seinfeld
“Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral? It is
because we are not the person involved” Mark Twain
“Not by lamentations and mournful chants ought we to celebrate the
funeral of a good man, but by hymns, for in ceasing to be numbered with
mortals he enters upon the heritage of a diviner life.” Plutarch quotes
