When he dies, take him and cut him out in little stars and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will be in love with night......Shakespere. When I shall die and leave behind This earth I love These trees, this sky, The pounding sea, The yearly hope of spring, Cry not for me. Rejoice. My soul has wings And in it's freedom sings. ....unknown
