SELFISH I MAY BE
 
Loved ones leaving
Much too soon.
To take
Eternal rest
My God you
Took away
The best-!
Whose
Going to cry for me?
 
I ask selfishly;
Who'll cry for me,
If the good die young?
You must make life
Matter again.
 
Another taking refuge in the great
Beyond...
Another leaving me
Here alone to morn...
 
Selfish I may be;
 
Somebody,
That loves me must stay...
Behind.
Tell tales about me when I am gone...
Someone must stay to weep and morn,
To be thankful that I was born.
 
Selfish I may be;
 
Someone must remember me
In spirit and deed...allow
Me to be first to leave;
Cry deeply, or moan deep like
A bad movie scene!
 
Selfish I may be;
 
Loved ones; Stay healthy,
Do not yet take eternal sleep.
Someone must write my eulogy
Or there'll be no one left to weep for me!
 
*YOUNG PEOPLE SLOW DOWN.
