When I Die

When I die don't shed no tears for me. My concious is clear, got nothin to fear, the Lord has forgiven me. Don't want no funeral, no words written bout me, no taps for me do blow. Had some good times, some awesome good friends, just pack it up and get on with the show. No worries bout what they do with my old bones, won't need them anymore. Be time to fly to a more blissful shore. Just one thing mates, every once in a while, look up at the sky, give me a big smile and say. Hey Jack it's been a while, hope you're feelin great. Cause I'll be lookin at all you Lovely Ladies and Gents, with a big grin on my face.

hehe. that is sweet and quite a lovely write. What brings the tears, is missing the people who colored our life. Then you look a little down, and you'll see a smile on the lips, because they remember something about you, something funny that made them laugh. It's all good. Thanks for sharing, Jack Ross jr. Caroline.
