When I Die

Its there among the flower roots 
Many laid to rest peaceful sleep 
Just cremate me all I ask 
Scatter me upon the earth 
Or perhaps the sky a breeze carried 
Maybe you just bury me deep 
For others to find later some season 

They may say it's just dirt in a vase 
But to earth I shall return 
Not just dust but one in God's love 
Bury me deep a river never wash 
When I Die, you can not bury me 
For in your heart holds memories dear 

Even those we thought break bond 
Still love we carry deep in there 
Loving another as God loved the other 
When I Die, just remember its short trip 
There we shall be again in the Heavens 
There life is in death for it be no suffering 
There I lay to rest, hoping I see you here 
In Heaven, I wait at gate your arrival 

Remember..I loved you when I was alive 
Love each other til end of time 
As Father loved you gave his Son 
Do also to the other, have a heart 
For time is only an instant 
A short breath away
