If I leave this earth tomorrow
Please shed not a tear for me,
For I’m at peace with my Lord
And my soul sails forever free.

Think of all the joy and laughter
We have been so blessed to share,
And know I’ll be watching over
Every one of you I love so dear.

None one of us ever really knows
How much time that we have here,
So hold tight the very ones you love
And tell them how much you care.

Life here is nothing but a journey
Sometimes the voyage is often short,
But with the love and grace of God
Our ships will meet at Heaven’s port…
