That day came when you were born,
On that day you cried,
On that day the world rejoiced.
As you go through life
Live it so well that
On the day you die the world cries,
Cries in sorrow,
And on that day you rejoice,
Rejoice in joy.

Yes indeed. One said 'Live so as to be missed' (when you pop off): Robert Murray McCheyne. OK, I added the words in brackets.
They'll miss my singing, but they'll rejoice in the silence! heehee.

Sing loud and long Orchi, I still cannot hear you.

Hi UNCLE ANDY ~ BRIAN here nice to be back and enjoy your eclectic choice of music ! Dave Bruebeck a Master and Rondo a la Turk ~ an oriental Touch ! Love the WIND SEXTET (plus percussion !) haunting sound ! Looks stunning on the full screen !

There is also a short TIME in between to LIVE

We do not fear Death and would love to die together
But whatever & whenever WE WILL REJOICE ! AMEN
Blessings & Peace to You & JOYCE
