Don’t Cry For Me

Don’t cry for me.
I will be okay.
Heaven is my home now,
and this is where I’ll stay.

Don’t cry for me.
I’m where I belong.
I want you to be happy
and try to stay strong.

Don’t cry for me.
It was just my time,
but I will see you someday
on the other side.

Don’t cry for me.
I am not alone.
The angels are with me
to welcome me home.

Don’t cry for me,
for I have no fear.
All my pain is gone,
and Jesus took my tears.

Don’t cry for me.
This is not the end.
I’ll be waiting here for you
when we meet again.

  6. One thing I’d really like to reply to is that weightloss system fast can be achieved by the suitable diet and exercise. Someone’s size not only affects appearance, but also the complete quality of life. Self-esteem, depressive disorders, health risks, as well as physical capabilities are afflicted in fat gain. It is possible to make everything right and still gain. Should this happen, a medical problem may be the primary cause. While a lot of food instead of enough exercising are usually responsible, common health concerns and widely used prescriptions can certainly greatly help to increase size. Many thanks for your post right here.

  7. So sorry to hear of the loss of Danny lot of great memories riding Harleys together fly high may
