Poetry: When you bury me

When the time has come,

My life on earth is done.

Do not cry,

Do not grieve,

Put me in the ground, say a prayer and leave!

Short and sweet is the way it should be,

Don't drag it out for everyone to see.

It may be tradition,

But I want a short expedition,

Heaven is not that far,

I made it there faster than a car.

Do not weep over my body,

Its just an empty shell,

I am fine and doing very well.

Do not cry for me,

For I wish you no misery.

Celebrate the life I had,

and do your best not to be sad.

    When you bury me,
    Don't shed a tear.
    Think of me,
    Smiling,
    Laughing ,
    And teasing you.
    Laugh at our memories.
    Joke with our friends.
    Don't
