When I Die

The end of this world is one: vanity and death And its beginning was one: creation & birth. Tomorrow may not to us belong So as we travel along, Let's do our part and not wait long Until we feel the time can't pass us by. If I did well in any way, compliment me now But I know I’m awful too, forgive me now If you have a word to the wise, say it now And if your grudge against me calls, slap my wrist now When my heart is still conscious To heed your words and make a change. If you wish to get my help, ask me now And if you want to help me too, please do it now If you want to laugh with me, let’s floric now If you even want to cry with me, come now For one day, I won’t be able to do anything Even if I get bothered with something. If you’ve got a heart to love, show it now And if you feel the hatred for me, put it down Tell me my wrongs, just now For my apologies won’t rise from the underworld. And if you've got some flowers, bring them now When I still can smell and see, not when I've left this world. If there’s something you can do, do it now And if you have a word, say it now When I’m still can make a vow For one day, my tongue will be dry And my mouth, full of sand I won't even step on this land My ears will be covered in rocks And my heart will not feel, just as a rock That time, I won’t appreciate, scold, or mock You know, “tears shed on graves are for Words unsaid and deeds not done before So, now is your time because I’m still here. Gratitude is my habit And for this, I have my credit But when I die, I won’t be grateful for the burial Expensive or cheap Since I will be “just dead”, please don’t do much Spend less and save for your life instead As for me, I'll be gone back to dust I’ve got a lot to do, so I’m doing it now Even if it’s hard, I do something just in time So if you have something to do too, do it now Because you might leave a lot of work To the ones left behind when you die. I just pray that God helps me To do everything I have to do Just now, while alive And I wish that for you too.
