No Mourning

Before I close my eyes I first realize, That I might not wake up tomorrow Will there be any sorrow. Would anyone cry any tears Or would some give out cheers, If I never woke up And drank from my morning cup. But, this one fact I think As I give the world a wink, I did my very best To always help the rest. I go to bed with a clear mind My soul has already been defined, I have forgiven those who have done me wrong For joy and peace I do long. No one have I ever used No one have I ever abused, And no one have I taken advantage of I enjoy being in love. I have never robbed, broke promises or stole For Christmas I have never received any coal, And as long as I do live I always do enjoy to help and give. When I close my right eye There is never a told lie, And then when I close my left There is never any bereft. So, when I go to sleep From sadness I do not ever weep, And if I don't awaken in the morning From hate and jealousy and sin there'll be no mourning. Randy L. McClave
