My Last Day
How would you spend the last day of your life?
 
 
  
 I would go back home
 I’d say goodbye to my mom
 I would take my bike
 
 And I would ride it
 Ride and ride to the old park
 That is by a field
 
 With a lake near by
 There is a big, old tree there
 I would go climb it
 
 I would climb and climb
 Higher than I’ve ever climbed
 Then I’d reach the top
 
 Then the branch would snap
 And I would be falling down
 Falling and falling
 
 
 I slice through the air
 Suddenly I stop falling
 Instead I’m sleeping
 
 Sleep on the cold grass
 Beneath the tree by the field
 With a lake near by
 
 Next to the old park
 I am sleeping and dreaming
 Sweet, wonderful dreams
 
 Then the sun would set
 The day would finally end
 And night would arrive
 
 My sleep would not stir
 And the darkest of nights comes
 Yet I still don’t wake
 
 And as the dawn comes
 I do not see the sun rise
 I don’t cease to dream
 
 I’d sleep peacefully
 Never to wake up again
 Laying by the tree
 
 In a field somewhere
 With a deep blue lake near by
 Next to the old park
 
 I slept and I slept
 On the last day of my life
 And I never woke

Definitely talented writing but a bit 'dark' for my taste.
Now from the tree-top fill a balloon that takes you to the clouds where all things are bright.
