Do not weep,
For I do not sleep,
Beneath the starry skies,
I sleep above them,
Peaceful and calm,
Without pain or tears,
Without this cancer,
Do not weep,
For I do not sleep,
On that earth no more,
I sleep in heaven,
With my mother,
But still, I love you all,
Do not weep,
For when you do,
I will just command – be still,
Let your tears of grief,
Be tears of joy,
At remembering our lives together,
Do not weep,
For when you do,
I cry too,
And it saddens me,
So be happy that we,
Had more time than some,
And remember it in times to come,
Do not weep,
For I do not sleep,
Beneath the starry skies,
I sleep next to you,
Peaceful and calm,
Without pain or tears,
Without this cancer,
Please do not weep for me,
It saddens me to see your woe,
Move on from this,
And do not feel guilty for doing so.

This is really good, and the repeditiveness adds to the feeling, but when repeating it is good to make sure that all the lines ryme. its still good though.
