Beckley, West Virginia

Nancy Rae (Ammar) Brown

When I've been to my last service and fades softly on the air the note of the last song for me and then the final prayer. When friends arise and slowly walk down the long chapel aisle to take a look at my cold corpse as they pass in single file there may be words of flattery, some may even sneer, some may sob, some may cry, some may not shed a tear. But be what may, this much I know - I will no longer care; no earthly voice can reach me as I climb that golden stair. Now pen in hand I'm writing you this my last request, don't grieve for me, don't wish me back for I am one most blessed. I have a hope beyond the grave, I am secure in God's great love. I leave this empty world with all it's cares for a mansion up above. Though it be hard please wear a smile, rejoice and praise our God. Tis only this old shell of mine you place beneath the sod
