I will be neither dead nor sleeping, but will transcend,
For I have chosen to become more than what any other man may be.
I will be too small to be a god and too great to be a human
So I will wander between two worlds wherever mortal remains reside...or in what state.
When you bury me, it will be your choice of when, and where, and how,
For I shall be away and not available for asking.

Poetry: When you bury me
by Paul Morgan
Not dead, but sleeping.
I was not dead, but sleeping
when you went and buried me.
Can you not now hear me calling
from the old
by JRR
When I take my final breath
And they prepare to lay me in the ground
There are things I need you to remember
Know I will
When you bury me
down deep in the earth
I want you to know,
for whatever it's worth-
That I always loved you
more than myself
When you bury me
hold me in your heart
As they lower my body into the cold earth
and you must part with my physical existence
In Memory of My Grandfather, William O. Jones
Oh, my loved ones, please, don't cry
Tears of bitterness and sorrow;
I leave
