Michael J. Hidalgo

Please don't sing sad songs for me,

Forget your grief and fears,

For I am in a perfect place,

Away from pain and tears…

I'm far away from hunger,

And hurt and want and pride.

I have a place in Heaven,

With the Master by my side.

My heart is filled with happiness,

And sweet rejoicing too.

To walk with God is perfect peace,

A joy forever new.
