Our Song of Love




When I am dead, my dearest,
sing a song of love for me
and then,
plant daisies & sunflowers galore
till they fill the meadow
by our home and,
every time you look at them,
do not be sad, but rather
smile and remember me.
I will be the rain
coaxing the flowers to grow,
I will be the sun,
causing them to bloom,
I will be the wind,
dancing to and fro.
If you do this, my dearest,
I promise you,
our song of love will never die.
