Mary Ellen Thomas, May 8, 1932 - May 27, 1998

Don't weep at my grave

For I am not there,

I've a date with a butterfly

To dance on the air.

If I'm missed, find a flower,

I'll be there too,

Sniffing it's fragrance

Right next to you.

Don't be sad

When you remember me,

For I'm singing in the sunshine,

Wild and free,

Flirting with lightning,

Playing tag with the wind,

Chasing the thunder

Time and again,

Soaring with the eagle,

Swimming in the sea,

Enjoying all of nature

While I'm waiting for thee.
