When I Die

When it happens...

~~¤

When I die, please give me a Daisy
You know it's my fave, please don't be lazy

When I die, please sing me a song
Sing it while my body is being buried to where it should belong

When I die, please look at me again
You can write a poem about me with your favorite pen

When I die, please read an old poem for me
Or you can make an artwork that only my soul can see

You can do everything, my love, everything you will
When I die, do it for me with your love as the strongest seal.
