When they burry me, remember my feet Which trekked every step on broken streets Felt the sands course through the toes in heat Through the winters snow and the icy sleet Tip toed at night, in the shadows, discrete And in the day stomped to the beat Carried me to a love so sweet I beg of you, remember my feet When they burry me, remember my knees Which cushioned the flips and falls of the trapeze Held up my frame with the greatest ease And never knelt to anything in displease Sprang up in the summer’s breeze Survived through the winters freeze And only bent to the love I wished to please I beg of you, remember my knees When they burry me, remember my hips That were there for all my trips Danced and shook for tips Witness the beauty of an eclipse Helped me stay balanced in all my slips Swung side to side on moonlit strips My love, who so tenderly grips I beg of you, remember my hips When they burry me, remember my hands Which toiled and worked in foreign lands Saluted in honorable commands Showed knowledge that still expands Gestured my souls demands Conveyed a message that understands Maintained a love that stands I beg of you, remember my hands When they burry me, remember my chest Where my heart beat without rest Gave me bravery in every quest Allowed me to pass every test Grew for those oppressed Out front when I progressed Where my love, became expressed I beg of you, remember my chest When they burry me, remember my head Smart enough to help me earn my bread Heard in passing, everything said Looked upon the horizon spread Felt the pain, when my body bled Kept my body fed Laid next to my love in bed I beg of you, remember my head When they burry me, remember my soul How it took others on an emotional stroll Made me conscious of my body toll Gave me purpose, a position role Appreciated everything in its whole The spirit world where it patrolled My love, whose heart it stole Above all, I beg of you, remember my soul

When They Burry Me
When they burry me, remember my feet Which trekked every step on broken streets Felt the sands course through the toes in heat Through the winters snow and the icy sleet Tip toed at night, in the shadows, discrete And in the day stomped to the beat Carried me to a love so sweet I beg of you, remember my feet When they burry me, remember my knees Which cushioned the flips and falls of the trapeze Held up my frame with the greatest ease And never knelt to anything in displease Sprang up in the summer’s breeze Survived through the winters freeze And only bent to the love I wished to please I beg of you, remember my knees When they burry me, remember my hips That were there for all my trips Danced and shook for tips Witness the beauty of an eclipse Helped me stay balanced in all my slips Swung side to side on moonlit strips My love, who so tenderly grips I beg of you, remember my hips When they burry me, remember my hands Which toiled and worked in foreign lands Saluted in honorable commands Showed knowledge that still expands Gestured my souls demands Conveyed a message that understands Maintained a love that stands I beg of you, remember my hands When they burry me, remember my chest Where my heart beat without rest Gave me bravery in every quest Allowed me to pass every test Grew for those oppressed Out front when I progressed Where my love, became expressed I beg of you, remember my chest When they burry me, remember my head Smart enough to help me earn my bread Heard in passing, everything said Looked upon the horizon spread Felt the pain, when my body bled Kept my body fed Laid next to my love in bed I beg of you, remember my head When they burry me, remember my soul How it took others on an emotional stroll Made me conscious of my body toll Gave me purpose, a position role Appreciated everything in its whole The spirit world where it patrolled My love, whose heart it stole Above all, I beg of you, remember my soul
