Shed no tears over me,
For the love of God covers thee
Have no fears about where I’ll go,
For I have a room in the house of God
Shed no tears over my body,
For it was rotten anyway
As they descend it to the cold earth,
Cry not, for that’s where I came from
Don’t be ashamed to speak of my flaws
Or the evil deeds I committed while alive,
That’s part of being human
Don’t be quick to judge me,
For that’s God’s work
Remember me as I am
Don’t cover my wickedness,
But also don’t forget my goodness
If you see me as an evil man,
Also, notice the good within me
Hate me if you want,
But don’t forget the love I showed you
You may erase me from your memories,
But keep me in your hearts
I say this before I pass on,
Love me now as I love you
If we’re enemies, let’s make amends,
For tomorrow is not promised
