Do not grieve when I pass away, <br /> <br />Remember it is but another stop upon my way. <br /> <br />On my way to a better existence. <br /> <br />That has always beckoned me from a distance. <br /> <br />It is a threshold that we all must cross, <br /> <br />Know that my passing is not a loss. <br /> <br />I will ascend to a temple of learning, <br /> <br />That my soul has been forever yearning. <br /> <br />Knowledge I will gain that man does not know, <br /> <br />So do not grieve at this my funeral below. <br /> <br />Be cheerful at my open grave this day, <br /> <br />Send me off with good wishes that is all I pray.<br /><br />Bernard Shaw<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/do-not-grieve/
