When I Die
July 31, 2013
When I die, I'd like to be buried
In jeans and a t-shirt, just like me,
No fancy dress, no eye make up,
No scents and glosses to doll me up,
A simple, poetic eulogy will do,
A few white roses and prayers, too.
When I die, my funeral should be
On a sunny day, perhaps after rain or sleet,
So I'll have a rainbow at my back,
A sky of colour, not gray or black,
A quote or two from my favourite authors,
And many more from the Holy Bible.
When I die, I'd like you to sit in my room,
And sing a song, perhaps your own favourite tune,
Strum the guitar and sing for me,
A cheerful song to set yourself free.
