The world shouldn’t cry when I go,
my siblings should rejoice at my journey.
No man should cry over my doings.
My contributions to the community will live on,
my gift to the world will remain effective.
Oh Lord, be my guide!

When they walk me to cemetery,
they should be proud.
When they lay me underneath the soil,
my work should be embraced.
Let my eyes close eternally
with accolades as my witnesses.
Let me leave the world
but not without my successes.
Lord, let me die alone, not with who I am.
My duplicate shall live forever.
