I've googled it and nothing.

What context is it in? Song, actual poem, part of a play?????

I am expanding the range of people I hit.

I am trying the poem for a colleague who’s sister ran it at their mum funeral.

Is it not this one then?

Weep Not for Me,
In Memory of a Beloved Cat

Weep not for me though I am gone into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my souls at rest.
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed.
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.

That's a lovely poem, made me go all goosey

[Brengirl]

I am obviously lacking in sentiment. I was quite moved by the words but when I saw it was written in memory of a cat. I decided it wasn't to my taste.

It doesn't matter who it's to, it's the words that are important!

Ode to a gold fish-
Oh Wet Pet

It moved you, Brengirl, that's the important bit. Your decision to dismiss it was a left brain action, nothing to do with feelings.

My colleague found it.

Weep not for me my time is done,
for you - a new life has begun.
Remember me with kindness love,
I will be watching from above.
Set now your face towards the sun,
with courage look for friendship, fun.
Do not be sad I've gone away.
our memories shared are there to stay.
Now you must find a way to live
without me - you've so much to give.
Your happiness is all I need,
to guide me on my way with speed
into the heavens where one day
I'll meet you as you come to stay.
Till then my love enjoy the home
we made together now your own.
Change it to your own special place,
give it your touch, your love, your grace.

Did your colleague happen to find the author PT?
