The poem I chose

A Final Goodbye ©  Betty Janko Do not weep for me for I will soon be gone, My body may die, but my soul will live on. Perhaps up to heaven, maybe eternity, Or be reborn as another, when I am set free. Do not weep for me for I will soon be gone. I was a survivor since my first breath was drawn. I loved and was loved by animals, and man, Siblings, friends and strangers, since my life began. Do not weep for me for I will soon be gone, My body may die, but my soul will live on. I leave all of you with my love, and I pray That our souls will touch once again, someday.
