Sacred Space::Don't Shed a Tear

When I breathe my last breath;
Then from my body finally leave
Rejoice in the life I've lived my friends;
Not my departure from it grieve

Don't come and see me in a wooden box
Or large wreaths of flowers for me buy
Keep your hard earned cash for yourself
But visit a little more often before I die

No, don't shed a tear on my behalf
Or walk around feeling sad or blue
Because from the stories I've been told
I might very well be better off than you

Plus when I'm truly dead and buried
Know I left content with no regrets
For my life's journey here was richer
Knowing that you and I had ever met

True I've been at fault at times;
And could have tried a little harder
But I hope you know that I did my best
To be there when it really mattered

So wear a smile upon your face
When my time to leave has come
We may have had our moments
But we also shared such fun

So don't shed a single tear for me
That's not how my show must end
I'd rather hear the peels of laughter
From the people whom I call friends

And you all know it!

It's a lot easier to make a positive difference in the world than most people would have you think. You don't have to be a millionaire, famous or even public about your random acts of kindness. All you have to be is open to making the world a nicer place in which to live.

With that thought in mind, why not think about burning a CD or playlist on your computer that inspires, motivates or cheers you up! Then, pass it along to other people you think might get something beneficial from it as well.

Remember: even a bucket gets filled one drop at a time!

Namaste!
