Don't Cry For Me! Poem by Anu .

To you, who took control..

Don't cry for me!
When I am gone.
I ll be in a better place, the place where I belong
The place where I have longed to be
With the people I wish to see
Don't cry for me
When I am gone
I ll be in a happier place, the place that belongs to me

Rejoice the times you spent with me
If at all there were any, when you were pleased
Remember the moments we made together
Gathered the memories, feather by feather
The moments of silence
The moments of fear
The laughing times
And even those moments, that made us wonder
Why we were even there!

And today, we live our lives far and away
Together we are, just to say!

You call me a kite, that flies its own flight
I call myself a bird
As there's no one holding my strings,
And that, feels so right
Your life is yours to live and mine s yours too
How does this work
You live on your terms and except me to accept all the blues

Don't cry for me
When I am gone
You too will be singing a beautiful song


And to my children...

Don't cry for me
When I am gone
I am a happy soul
Who has lived her life
To the utmost whole
Sometimes even in a hole

Celebrate this phase of my life
Its just the body that has died
Eat the food, brighten up the clothes
Bring on the cheers
Sing happy songs, make sure your face glows
Say something nice to someone for me
Show them the beauty of life and make sure they see
Dont wet your eyes to show a tear
And you too my child, please don't fear
No matter where I am, I ll always be around
For you my love, I ll always be there.

Look at the flowers, the lilies I loved
You ll find me smiling there, maybe in form of a dove
Look at the skies, bright and blue
You ll find me smiling there too
Look at the Walls, I decorated them for you
To make the house a home if only you knew.
Drive the car, like I use to
Singing all the songs and making some new
Feel me in the breeze, let it touch your face
Remember my kisses in such beautiful ways
Look at the pond and the ducks within
You ll find me staring at them, I found their acts amazing
When you see the flying planes
Spread their wings wide
Remember me then and how I loved to fly
Celebrate my going away
You know that's what I wanted but never did I say
Don't cry for me
When I am gone
I am in a happy place
The place where I belong
