Passing To a Memory

When my time has finally come
When it’s time to leave this earth
Please let me leave with dignity
Let me decease with all my worth.

Spare my loved ones from the pain
Don’t let them watch me simmer down
Guard the memories of my prime
Don’t let death
Be like watching someone drown.



RIP Dad
