When I Pass

When I Pass


My life on earth is short,
I know that is true,
And the worst part of dieing,
Is my leaving you.

I hope my time with you,
Has been happy and fun,
And memories of me,
Will be your number one.

Don't dwell on my passing,
Don't be bitter or sore,
I'll be waiting for you,
On that far Jordan shore.

When your turn comes,
And you know that's our fate,
We will stroll hand in hand,
Through heavens gate.
