WHEN I AM GONE

Why do you weep? I don't see why.

My pain is gone; I do not cry.

I've found my peace, my tears have dried;

Your pain will heal as time goes by.

I am not gone, I hope you'll find

May I be a thought to make you smile.

Life is too short to cry for mine;

Go now, live yours, e'er you, too, die.
