The time has finally come
For me to leave this earth;
I’ve seen countless changes
In the world since my birth.
I’ve lived a long life,
Filled with joy and pain;
Please don’t cry, my children,
For I know I’ll see you again.
I do not fear the crossing,
For my soul is right with God.
I can almost hear the angels singing
Their joyful, heavenly song.
So as I say goodbye
To all of you, who are so ...
