Poem written by Linda Romo Hoff:

If I should die

Please don’t cry

Don’t say goodbye

And don’t ask why

My tortured soul

will be at rest

I’ll be at home

with all the best

The ones were there

When I was born

The ones I lost

and how I mourned

So many I love

will be left behind

the special ones

whom I call mine

I’ll see you cry

I’ll see your smile

I’ll be watching over you

All the while

There’s no death

Just change of life

I’ll be there to welcome you

And guide you towards the light

With open arms

I’ll keep you safe

and bring you to

this lovely place

So when I die

Please don’t cry

Don’t ask why

Don’t say goodbye
