Do Not Cry While I Die

Once, we had unlimited fun Until life’s duties had us on a run Memories consumed us old, yet, for new experiences we jump Please, do not cry, while I die I rather you not lie Time so scarce, you never said goodbye As you reminisce great times awake I take enjoyable moments in wake Embrace belove new things you are yet to make Back to Earth, my contribution to nature awakes Helping trees grow, while purifying a lake Turn up those popular music Dance in celebration of memories late Be good, for goodness’ sake For in this moment’s time, you hold the ingredients to the cake you most desired to bake Mines, many unfinished tasks laid aside Yours, life’s journey you must decide In eternal uncertainties, I go to reside Until we meet again on the sunny side By: Steven E.
