21. Goodbye
In our minds we always knew
this time would come to pass.
But knowing it and living it,
has come and gone so fast.
In our minds we always knew
this time would come to pass.
But knowing it and living it,
has come and gone so fast.
I dedicate this poem to my family friend Mpho Mampshe, who passed away on the 19 of April 2013 via car accident. May he rest in peace*lots of love*

When I leave this world, please do not cry,
For I have gone up with the spirits in the sky.
Do not place flowers by my side,
For I never got them when I was alive.

Thinking of you as you're gone this day.
The pain that we feel will never fade away.
As our eyes fill with tears and make us cry,
Beautiful Angel outside and in
She's very calm and sees no sin
Beautiful Angel went up to heaven
So peacefully she never noticed
I want no flowers when I die
No one too mourn me
no one to cry.
I wish no sadness, at my demise
I understand how you feel Ann, it's what happens after everyone has left, those flowers are left to rot, I would rather give the money to charity.
God bless
I have gone beyond the rainbow
To my heavenly home above
Please don't shed a tear for me
Remember me with love
I watch you weep as it hurts to grieve
You'd much prefer that I didn't leave
But rest assured that I'm always near
To brush your face and to wipe your tears
We're gathered together in tribute to pay,
A life that was lost, yet still paving the way,
And in spite of our mourning, all is not grey,
For heaven received a new angel today.
