Shed no tears I heard him say,
what's done was meant to be.
Let's look toward a brighter day,
together, you and me.

Courage is your middle name,
a fighter through and through.
Learned early how to play the game,
your heart is pure and true.

Shed, no tears and let's go on;
we've mountains yet to climb.
Life's so short, it's here and gone,
we've all so little time.

Enjoy now, the times we share,
and let's be on our way.
Let's make our mark, let's show we care,
together, day by day.

The road is long, the task is great
but onward we must go.
To dare to tempt the hands of fate,
to conquer every foe.

For all too soon the light of day,
runs out on one and all.
That final debt we all muat pay,
when we hear that final call.

And when that call goes out for me,
and I must go my way.
A brighter day I soon will see,
that's all I have to say.

So shed no tears,
when time has come.
For I have run the race,
and won. By: Ed McIntosh
