I Will Not Stay

March 27, 2014

Leave me alone, And go away; For no matter how you beg, I will not stay. All things go. All things die. All have done so, And so shall I. Bury me here. Bury me there. Wherever you like, I will not care. In a wooden coffin, Or covered with stones, It does not matter Where you bury my bones. For there will only My body lay. I will not be there; I will not stay. My soul will be free. I will fly home To spend eternity With God at His throne.
