Danny Boy

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

Sometimes, when people die, you know that they are not really gone. 

 

The body dies, but the spirit is eternal. Reminds of the time when my grandfather remarked, pointing to me, "She is the reincarnation of my mother",

because I would not stop crying as we went to my great grandmother's death remembrance services- I was a few months old that time.

Death is the biggest truth of the universe; yet, there is no bigger lie than the belief that death is the end of it all. After I die, please offer me sunflowers on my grave. I love sunflowers.
