When Im Gone

born of flesh but guided by spirits.
                  the only pieces left of you ,that will be left of me
                  when I'm gone will be the seeds of our children.

                  I pray that she learn from the mistakes that 
                  daddies been through.
                  to stay away from the snakes with a two-way-face
                  nothing personal but we all have some type of issues.

                  I Shed  these tears of labor now so when my child grows
                  older ,it wont be Necessary .

                  once a week with one red rose to one tombstone inside of one cemetery.

                   a routine that she'll promise to keep was what she told me
                   at my coffin side along with a kiss to the cheek.

                 its unbearable to coupe with friends and family being decease
                 but in a life's portrait , the bigger picture is another man has
                 finally found peace.
