In case I die


Let there be laughter

And not grief

On the day I go

For tears 

Will not suffice

 

Let there be light

And no pain in

What we had

Instead of what can

No longer be

 

The stories we made

As you remember

The joy you sparked

In me as I hope

I did in you

Forgetting why you

Are sad instead

Of peaceful with

Memories

 

Let there be hope

And no doubt

As you look around

To see we are

All connected

 

Let there be nothing

When I am gone
