Drops of Love

                            EPITAPH
         Here lies a poor woman who always was tired,
         She lived in a house where help wasnt hired.
        The last words she said were:"Dear friends I am going,
        Where washing aint wanted,nor sweeping nor sewing;
        And everything there is exact to my wishes,
        For where folks dont eat theres no washing of dishes,
        in heaven loud anthems forever are ringong,
       But having no voice I'll keep clear of singing,
       Don't mourn for me now,don't mourn for me never;
        I'm going to do nothing forever and ever.
