When I Die When I die please don't cry. Think of me like a butterfly. Close your eyes and imagine being there, see my body as a cocoon. My soul like an angel to fly away soon, to a loving heaven that's warm and secure. Full of love and no pain to endure!!! Close your eyes and imagine being there. Serene and safe without a care. Don't cry for me when I am gone. I'll be bathed in GOD'S love TILL WE MEET AGAIN... In loving memory of Edward Dunifin Sr.
