“As I sit here, Pondering my own Mortality, My weird and wonderful Morality, I see with perfect clarity, The man, I aspired to be. My passing, Shall go unnoticed, For those, That would have attended my funeral, They, only they, That could gave delivered, The exquisite Eulogy, Of my life, Began their voyage, To the After, Before I myself did. I mind not, For surely, My end, Should be not, A time of sadness, Sorrow, Tears. But a beautiful celebration, A dance of laughter, Giggles, Smiles, And remembrances, Of the wonder life, I dared to live.”
