Do Not Weep For Me
Do not weep for me, I stand on Southern Shores. Do not cry for me, I’m not hurting anymore. Do not wait for me, I’ll see you soon again. Do not greive for me , because it’s more than I can stand. So do not weep for me, God, says my work is done. Think of me up in the clouds ablaze by the setting sun. Do not cry for me ,I’ll see you once again, when you feel the breeze brush your cheek , I’m with you in the wind. Do not weep for me, I stand on Southern Shores. Do not cry for me, I’m not hurting anymore. By Paula Foster
