Do not weep that I have gone,but rejoice that I have been.For I have known life to its fullest measure,I have felt pain and I have
known pleasure.Years I have I have cried in grief and laughter.I have known love and all that comes after.
I have tasted the salt of bitterness of tears.
I’ve walked in the rain when the day is done,
Felt the summer breeze and the warmth of the sun. I’ve sat by the sea and heard the waves pound.
Held the hand that is friendship, its richness abound. Yes I have known life and I will learn death.
So weep not for me that I have been….
But rejoice that I have been.
