Dead and Buried

When I finally leave this world,
I really want it said,
‘That’s a guy I really miss
I wish he wasn’t dead.’

‘He always was so busy,
had many things to do,
I’m not sure that I could handle
all that he went through’.

‘He always strived to do what’s right,
helped others when he could,
would give the shirt right off his back,
really did more than he should’

Yes all will really miss me,
much mourning when I die,
I bet the men will all be choked,
and the women will all cry.

Nothing bad could be proclaimed,
after my fateful ride,
I kind of wish that I’ll be there
the day after I have died.
