Turkey Oath

I am a turkey yes I am.
I will with be put in a big fat pan.
There is no way for me to escape.
For I will be served on a plate.
I won't shed a tear not one at all.
While I am being plucked and turned raw. 
Please don't cry either when I go. 
For I will be going to Heaven, the best place I know.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
