Die Gracefully

Breathe deeply now Breathe deeply somehow Breathe as deeply as your little lungs will allow Walk slowly now Walk slowly somehow Walk as slowly as your fast feet will allow Play nicely now Play nicely somehow Play as nicely as your stubborn self will allow Hold tightly now Hold tightly somehow Hold tightly as your needy arms will allow Think clearly now Think clearly somehow Think as clearly as your confused mind will allow Give generously now Give generously somehow Give as generously as your greedy hands will allow Sing softly now Sing softly somehow Sing as softly as your loud voice will allow Love carefully now Love carefully somehow Love as carefully as your reckless heart will allow Breathe deeply now Breathe deeply somehow Take as many breaths as your broken heart will allow Die deeply now Die slowly now Die nicely now Hold on tightly somehow Die clearly now Die softly now Die carefully now Die gracefully now Die as gracefully as your awkward self will allow
