If I die today,
dress me in velvet,
bury me away
in an oak coffin.
Sink me in the river
in the starlight.
Call me a giver
of rose colored love.
Sing for me
a song of life.
Don't let this be
a moment of sadness.
Death is not an end.
My new life has begun.
I'm just around the bend
of that Heavenly Light.
