I don’t know what my last words will be
Or who will be around me for it’s not my time yet.
I hope, I would think I would have little to say or a lot
Depending on who I’ll be talking to.
But as I lay there dying, I hope I’ll be surrounded by love ones
And nice things will be said and I will go in peace knowing I
Completed all I was meant to do and said all that needed to be said.
I’d probably be brutally honest and let you all have it and probably
Won’t all be good words coming out my mouth but you’ll get over it
When I’m gone.
In the end I hope you’ve said all you had too to me and when it’s time
you feel as free as I will.
So lay me down when I am dying and talk my ear off and let me do the
same until I leave with smile on my face and knowing I’m going to a better place I hope.
But I also hope you will be okay and strong when I’m gone, and I want you to know it’s okay to carry on without me and more joy will come and I will always be in your heart.
sincerely,
Me laying here dying for all to see one day!
