My Epitaph

When I go from this life, let me go in peace

I don't want your marble at my head and feet

Don't gather around me oh just to weep and moan

Where that I'm going I won't be alone

The flowers you give me, please give them to Dave

Don't waste their beauty on cold lifeless clay

One rose with love could do so much good

And I think all would give it if they just understood

Now God gives life freely, then he takes away

What we do for each other oh let us do it today

We have no promise that tomorrow will come

Don't sing my praises after I'm gone

When life has departed its not me any more

Just a form that has suffered, a still heart that was sore

For the soul that has blossomed, oh it don't need you anymore

So let it go freely till God's evermore
