"DO NOT WEEP FOR ME, BELOVED ONES: DO NOT WEEP FOR ME." A little while, not long ago My soul was blind, I could not see A little while, not long ago My pain was great, my future low I had no strength, I could not stand I was but a stranger in an unknown land. But do not weep for me beloved ones Do not weep for me. Suddenly, I took a voyage on a ship Across a sea of time. As I approached that distant shore I saw some relatives of mine That I had not seen before I was greeted by my grandmother Sarah Palts was her name. There was my uncle Cassele Goss Also there was my dear father Bernard My stepfather Charlie B. also came And also my aunt Superi And my brother Bernie Jr. All were there in all their glory. To will come me in the Master's name Into the heavenly door My father, Bernard, opened wide his arms. To me and said, "Welcome my dear daughter. Come, come and greet the Master He's been expecting you." I raised my eyes and looked up. Suddenly, I was consumed by a love That I had never felt before With my hands crossed I Kneeled before the golden door. I humbly bowed before his Grace And stole a glance at his face Then the blessed Master Motioned me to break bread with him. How could I ask for more. Then as we sat with my hand Clasped in the Master's hand The tears rushed from my eyes And I cried, "Oh Heavenly Lord, My dear Jesus, most gracious one on high How long have you been with me? How long have you been nigh?"
