Don’t Cry For Me

Don’t cry for me… I am so amazed by what I see!

I am doing so well… Oh! The things I could tell!

I no longer have cancer and am great

I must have reached my magic date!

So many people greeted me that I knew

It was like a marvelous dream come true!

If only you could be here to see what I see now

Your time will go fast and enjoy it all somehow!

I want you to know that I loved you all

However, I had to answer when I got the call!

I wanted to be with you so very much

I loved people and keeping in touch!

I really do not want you to cry

I took my time when I did fly!

It was everything I read about

I cleared up my every doubt!

I was not afraid when my angel guide

No more sores that I have to hide!

You were wonderful and hard to leave

I live on in many a heart on a sleeve!

Don’t you feel bad or sorry for me

Because I had a good life, you see!

You all played an important part

I felt all of the love in my heart!

God had cancer written in my book

He freed me now… The steps I took!

Instead, I want to cry for all of you

Please, Lord, help them all get through!

Keep me in your hearts each day as you live

Remember me… reach out to others and give!

My time may have seemed so very short

I even got used to that silly cancer port!

I touched the lives of people everywhere

My mark lasts in those I did love and care!

Take time to leave your mark too

As I will anxiously await to see you!

My Easter was celebrated in a different way

I made it to Heaven and am here to stay!

Do good things and make me smile

We will be together again… after a while!

Don’t cry for me… I am now cancer free!

Love, Dawn
