No longer mourn for me when I am dead <br />For I have lived a life of cheers <br />Although these thoughts you may dread <br />I ask of you to shed no tear <br />For my love will always remain here <br />In the memories that we have shared <br />If you hold to that you may not fear <br />The lack of my presence and care <br />If the memorie of me should cause you to lament <br />Than I ask of you to me simply forget <br />For even death <br />In sadness is not how I would want to be remembered <br />But instead know my love die with me, never!<br /><br />Gabriel Joel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-version-of-no-longer-mourn-for-me-when-i-am-dead/
