If I should die tonight
I will go in peace
Though I’ve lived but twenty years
I know that life won’t cease.

It will go on and they’ll move on,
My pets and friends and family
Happiness will find them once again
And I’ll be a fond memory.

If I should die tonight
I will not put up a fight
For I have loved and have been loved
And my life was rather bright.

I did not accomplish much
In my brief time here on Earth
I did not learn to dance or sing and I never wrote a book
But achievement is subjective and I lived my life with mirth.

If I should die tonight
I will not die in vain
For I brought laughter to those around me
And to a few I eased some pain.

Mind at rest and soul in peace
I’ll be lying in my bed
Dreaming dreams full of magic
Long after I’m dead.

I’ll roll over one last time
With a faint smile on my face
I’ll exhale my final breath, at last,
And my God I will embrace.

Before it is my time to go
One thing I’ll leave in ink:
If you have some friends and a family that loves you
You are richer than you think.
