    To my daughter II

     If I die without a will
    dear daughter
    don't cry for my tragic life
    I have been celebrating each day as glorious gift
    God has given an unworthy mother
    an Angel as darling as you

    If I die without a will
    dear daughter
    don't bury me in the lonely grave
    sprinkle my ashes over mountain rivers
    return me to mother earth
    produce nutrients to nurture you

    If I die without a will
    dear daughter
    don't regret the arguments and fights
    the endless tears and constant cries
    our laughter still largely out-numbered
    what I cherish are your growths and milestones

    If I die without a will
    dear daughter
    don't fear for loneliness
    my spirit is always with you
    you can hear me through nature's whisper  
    knowing your mother always loves you 

    Forever

    To me, this is one of the greatest poems I've ever read. Loved every word. When its my time to go, I would love to have my ashes spread throughout the mountains. I am in awe of your writing. Very well done.
