Grieve Not For Me Grieve not for me, but a little while. Cry not for me, but a little while. For you see my time for here wasn’t enough, but just enough to know how much I was loved. Grieve not for me, but a little while. My husband, my mom, my sister and my brothers, my family and my friends, cry not for me, but a little while. For now that body no longer bound me, know that I am happy and free. One day you will understand why I had to leave you. Know that I loved you all, with all my heart. I was so blessed to have you all in my life. Now I can walk, now I can run. I am truly happy and free. So please grieve for me just a little while. “Mary my old friend… you are truly free!”
