When I'M Gone

When I’m gone, don’t let my ashes get in your eyes… Tell some jokes, and have a laugh… Really no need to cry… When I was a kid, I said I’d never make it to 25… I guess everything since then has been extra time… When I’m gone, please don’t dress in black… Get a brightly colored dress from the used dress rack… Drink a toast and hold it up, as you smile with your glass in the air… You can think of me as in a better place, but I’m still not sure where…
