After I'M Gone

Too soon it will be over. 
All I am and all I know.
Please plant me with an acorn
then in peace I'll watch it grow.

Hello John Grinsell, yes we have to plan for these things. You have the right idea. Beagles are cute dogs. Does your dog wake you in the early morning? Just wondering. enjoy your day my friend.

Thank you so much Darlene. I have a plot of land and it is my intention for this to happen. Great idea about the dog. Only I have a Beagle named Max. I'll have no peace. He'll just dig me up. I wrote the poem late last night and have a small rewrite now I'm awake and fully conscious.
