Please don't say that i gave up,just say i gave in. Don't say i lost
the battle, for it was God's war to loose or win. Please don't say how
good i was, but that i did my best. Just say i tried to do what's
right, to give the most i could, not to do less. Please don't give me
wings or a halo, that's for God to do. I want no more than i deserve, no
extra, just my due. Please don't be concerned about me now, I'm well with
God, I've made it home. Don't talk about what could have been, it's over
and its done. Just see to all my family needs, the battle has been
won. When you draw a picture of me,don't draw me a saint. I've done some
good. I've done some wrong. So use all your paint, not just the bright and
light tones. Use some gray and dark, in fact, don't put me down on
canvas, paint me in your heart. Don't just rember good times, but rember
some bad. For life is full of many things, some happy and some sad, but if
you must do something, then i have one last request. Forgive me for the
wrong i've done and with the love that's left, Thank God for my soul
resting. Thank God for I've been blessed. Thank God for all who loved
me, Praise God who loved me best.
