A Good Day To Die
My friend died today,
She said it was a good day to die.
The Sun was shining and the air warm.
Doves were cooing and birds were singing
My friend died today,
She said it was a good day to die.
Dogs were chasing balls,
Cats were lying stretched out in the sun
My friend died today,
She said it was a good day to die.
Children were playing in the park,
Watched over by mothers and fathers.
My friend died today,
She said it was a good day to die.
No one missed her as she slipped peacefully away,
The flowers fluttered in the breeze as if to wave goodbye
My friend died today,
She said it was a good day to die.
How I miss her laughter and her tender smile.
I wish it had not been such a good day for dying.
