Oscar Junior 'Red' Bynum

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 soul’s 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 the strife. Please do not dwell upon my death,

But celebrate my life.
