    My funeral

    The church bells ring and everyone enters
    There’s a funeral today, my funeral
    Open casket I see my still body lying there
    Tears are shed from many, some I don’t recognize

    A funeral precession towards the grave yard
    I see my family there, all in tears
    If only I could say I am sorry
    If only they could know the words left unsaid

    Fresh dirt, I am there underneath
    Will my friends and family remember me?
    Did I make an impact on anyone’s life?
    Flowers are now laid above the dirt

    If I knew my life would be ending
    I would have never went to bed angry
    I would have said I was sorry more and argued less
    If only I knew maybe they wouldn’t be crying

    Will I be remembered in a good way?
    Or will I just be remembered on that day?
    Memories good and bad, don’t forget me.
    Don’t dwell but don’t forget

    I’d want my sister to know it’s okay to cry
    Tell my daddy I am going to miss him
    Tell my momma I am sorry for pushing her aside
    And my brother that I am proud of him

    Let my niece know I will always be around
    Remind my friends distance doesn’t change a thing
    Let my memory live on in the lives of them
    “Whenever you remember I will be there”

    This is an amazing poem.You did a great job on it.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
