Destiny has played its part, it was a good time for me to leave

Destiny has played its part; it was time for me to leave

Welcome friends and family, indeed a welcome to you all
To this occasion, my funeral,
To this occasion where I am present but not seen
To this occasion, upon my death, my funeral does befall

Such events are not looked forward to, for they tend to be quite sad
Crying eyes and solemn expression
Whispered words said in degrees of depression
Not surprising, but let’s be positive about the life I have had

Like all of us it’s had its down, but they were few and only lasted for a while
You were there for me, and I thank you
For knowing me, for sharing time with me, for talking to me, for thinking about me, for loving me, for caring about me and for always leaving me with a smile.

I hope I have left you with fine memories be they laughable, entertaining or just good
And over the coming years ahead you might have cause to recall them as you would

Destiny has played its part; it was time for me to leave
I want you to heal, no more pain should you feel, and after this service, please, do not grieve.
For life is too short for such feelings, you must move on without any twinges of guilt
Flower and bloom, avoid doom and gloom, or else you could well shrivel and wilt.
