Preplanned Funneral

Funerals are sad I know
But be happy on mine
So that I can sleep peacefully
Six feet under the sign,

A fine cut stone piece sign
Above my grave
That says a beautiful name
My mother gave,

A black wooden coffin with a pillow would be fine
With a woolen blanket
My grandma once design,

Please don’t mourn or cry
Over my polished coffin
If you really miss me the
Why don’t you come and join in?

Don’t decorate my funeral with
Old traditional white flowers
Use some roses or tulip that
Represents the memories of ours,

There is no point of coming to my grave
Leaving your job or home all behind
While you don’t come even to hello 
When I still have time,

Please don’t recite sad eulogies or 
Long speeches that are boring
Cause’ I don’t want people on y funeral
Sleeping or snoring,

Sing some songs or play some karaoke instead
Or dance on songs of Coldplay and weeknd,

Make my funeral unforgettable
Something beautifully remarkable,

Funerals are sad I know
But on mine just be happy and smiling
So that I can die peacefully
Without leaving anyone behind sad and crying...”
