Roses are red violets are blue, my time is up, I bid you ado.
My eyes have grown weary, my strength is now weak.
What's after this life, my mind starts to seek.
This life wasn't easy I had only one shot.
Now I lay to rest, in a cemetery plot.
I can't say I'll miss you, I'm ready to go.
I'll have no memories, of this life that I know.
I've searched this life, for purpose and meaning.
Always knowing, always believing.
There is a better life out there, the life I've been dreaming.
I'll be in the cosmos, I'll check out mars.
I'll wander the galaxy, live amongst the stars.
I leave no children, in a world so unkind.
I can't bear the thought, to leave them behind.
The places I'll go, the wonders that be.
My soul anticipates, my eyes want to see.
My body is dead, but my spirit lives on
I'll always be with you, long after I'm gone.
I leave you behind, in this world so unfair.
Whenever you're lonely, just call, I'll be there.
I'll meet my creator, and be shown how to see.
Many plains of existence, and what lay before me.
I've done all I can, in this world all alone.
My numbers been called, my turn to go home.
The time is now, you may say it's unfair.
I'm free now, no regrets, no cares.
Don't be upset, you don't understand.
The creator has called me, I've taken his hand.
Someday I'll return, as a bird or a bee,
But I will not know you, and you not know me.
My parting wish, should anyone ask.
Live life to fullest, if each day was your last.
My last few words I say are true.
They come from my heart, my last gift to you.
So don't be sad, don't cry for me, you know that I'm happy,
my spirit is free, and I'll always take comfort,
in you're memories of me.
Roses are red, violets are blue.
Smile my friends, and know I love you.
