ReplyDeleteDon't Cry For Me
ReplyDeleteby Pearlie Duncan Walker
When I'm gone; don't cry for me
I am not dead; I'm in sweet eternity
I'll live forever; I'll wait for all of you
When it’s your time; it’s what God would have us do.
He called my name; He said come home
I did not die; please do not cry; I will no more roam
I'll be by our Savior forever; soon, you too
We’ll walk in the light; praising God in all that we do.
Do not mourn for me; I have sweet victory
I'll walk in Gods’ garden; and glories see
I am not dead; He set me free; an Angel called to me
Its beautiful here; Heavens’ full of cheer; you'll see.
I did not die my love; I only went ahead
I knew you’d understand; though I know this, you'll dread
That will pass too; do all God would have you do
Maybe up there God will let me have; a glimpse of you.
I did not die, so do not cry; I'll meet you here one day
Jesus will send an Angel to bring you to me; all the way
Our love is sure; our hearts are strong
I did not die, so please don't cry; I am home.
Eddie, I want you to know that I am sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. May he rest a in Peace and May Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him. He will be remembered in our family prayers. Ed Weilbacher
ReplyDeleteMy heart and prayers go out to you and your family, my friend.
ReplyDeleteOur condolences to you and your family Ed. God Bless You.
ReplyDeleteEd,
ReplyDeleteMy deepest sympathy over the passing of your father. I'm old enough to remember him pulling loads from the old home shed to the stuffing machines on the Broadway side. He always did it with a smile on his face, staying ahead of the stuffing machines and not doing any damage with the forklift. I can also remember when you came out on the Spring St dock announcing you had been promoted to the position of flyboy in the press room. Let me also share with you that I became totally drunk at your father's retirement party. As I remember, it was at a lodge of some sort in the San Gabriel valley.
As I get older, I tend to remember the good times more than the bad. I had a lot of fun working with your father, and I find comfort knowing he is with his maker. I hope and pray you find the same comfort.
Peace be with you and your family,
TS
