Dead and Gone

When I am dead and six feet under, please don’t bring me flowers I can not smell, red roses I can not see or stems I can not touch Well, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing and... everything will be all right When I am dead and gone, just keep on living, because life is like a red balloon on a string and sailing gently on a gust of wind Posted By: Gregory W Golden Dated 8 Oct 2006
