I want to be immortal; I want to be eternal.
After I’ve taken my last breath, I want my deeds to live on.
I want to live on through the smiles I’ve shared.
I want my legacy to live on through my words.
I want to be long remembered by my loved ones.

I want to be immortal; I want to be eternal.
I want the words of my poetry to echo throughout time.
I want them to be engraved in the stars and scattered throughout the night sky.

I want to be immortal; I want to be eternal
All of my life I strive to contemplate kind thoughts and execute my actions with kindness.
I believe that good deeds and benevolence are the bridge that will lead my soul to heaven, where I can reside eternally.
I want to be able to look down from above and witness my legacy live on with me forever.
I want to be proud of the heritage I leave behind, the lives I touch.

I want to be immortal; I want to be eternal.
When I am ready to depart, I want my body to be buried deep inside mother nature's heart, next to my beloved mom, in the middle of the mountain. My fragile body will celebrate life by nurturing the beautiful trees in the cemetery.
Then I will be able to rest in peace knowing that nature and I
are one, and I that I’ve finally become a part of creation's beauty for all eternity!
