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
