Do Not Cry For Me
By
Susan Maree Jeavons
Remember when I was alive and do not cry
for me,
for I had treasures on this Earth that were so heavenly!
Though I have had my share of woes,
the blessings far outweigh,
for God had many plans for me that took my pain away.
The sound of children’s laughter was music to my ears,
and when I saw injustices, God helped to ease my fears.
With visions that inspired, he showed my goals to me
and with this special gift he gave I wrote my poetry.
I’ve held a tiny baby’s hand and sang a lullaby.
I have walked in Summer rains, seen rainbows in the sky!
Of daffodils and violets, I’ve written poetry
and don’t forget forget-me-nots that bloom there by the tree.
I’ve seen the eagle flying high, watched him soaring there!
I’ve watched a thunderstorm at night,
its power beyond compare!
I’ve watched a shooting star go by and felt a special thrill,
and I have seen the chickadee land on my window sill!
I’ve had the chance to see the world in magnificent display,
the Ravenfork and Mingo Falls and more along my way!
I’ve walked where laurel was in bloom
and heard the owl at night!
I’ve seen the oceans crashing waves
and felt its awesome might!
I’ve seen blue smoky mountains and valleys far below.
I’ve smelled the roses by the walk, made angels in the snow!
I’ve walked in puddles with bare feet
and laid in green, green grass.
With children I watched clouds above
and saw the dragons pass!
I have heard the mourning dove, smelled a honeysuckle breeze.
So many blessings I have had with treasures such as these!
I’ve had the love of family and friends to make me smile,
and I have seen such miracles in just this little while!
I’ve lived life to the fullest, and oh, it went so fast!
There was much more for me to do, but now it’s time at last.
So remember when I was alive and do not cry for me,
for I had treasures on this Earth that were so heavenly!
