The day I die

The day I die I hope it is timely.
I hope it’s mild and sunny
while I love the rain I hope
it doesn’t rain when
my loved ones
lay me down to rest

By the time I die I hope
I’ve traveled as much
as I once dreamed of
when my heart
pumped up blood

By the time I die I hope
I’ve paid all my dues
if it means I won’t
become a burden
on anyone

The day I die I hope
my mom won’t see,
a literal pain is
the last thing
I want to be

The day I die I hope
the silent haters won’t come
with flowers and their empty words,
words never truthful enough
to touch my living soul

But I hope the ones I loved
are there for a last drink,
a last poem, a last dance,
a last song, I hope
I’d known I was loved
by the time I’m gone

The day I die I hope
it is a lavender field
where they help me
settle in my new home

The day I die I hope
it doest hurt them or me
I hope it’s breezy
I hope I remember to be
okay because after all
It’s not death I fear
but the unknown.
