Before I Die

When its time to leave the world

When its my time to die

I'd like to walk through the gates of heaven

with a set of wings to fly



Theres just one catch before my turn

I would miss everyone so

I want to tell the ones I love

some things before I go



First the basics I will cover

My funeral should be small

celebrate our life together

and not the sadness of it all



I would like each of you to say goodbye to me

so I am brave and don't feel alone

I will always wait for you

even in my new home



As for life

you have taught me everything I needed

thank you to everyone

because your the reason I succeeded



I offer an apology

to everyone I felt hate for

we probably could have been alright

if we just tried to hang out more



As for my dearest one

the one who tops the list

I love him so much

He's the last I want to kiss



He's made life the best it had been

I will miss him the most

I'll picture him always

even as a ghost



I love my friends and family

so much fun and so much love

so much emotion given back to me

I'll watch over you from above



Thanks everyone who loved me

no matter what I did or said

beacuse I wasnt always an angel

forgive me before I'm dead



God has accepted me

don't worry for many days

because although my body is gone

my spirit doesn't fade away



Live your life as normal as before

just because mine is done

feel all the joys of happiness

and always have fun



For all the things you've taught me

I can return only this

death is not changeable

so give a goodbye kiss
