If I Should Die
August 27, 2013
I hope the Ashes fall
back to where they belong
in the Ground, growing Flowers--
maybe Roses,
maybe not.
But they will fall,
unless you stop them,
and things will grow--
Hope, Love, maybe Joy--
eventually will grow
if you let them.

From a prayer to the inspiration of your poem here. It goes to show that art may show no boundaries. Similar to Mufasa`s nature speech with Simba in the Lion King. We are all connected in some way, even to the plants.

This is great. I love the idea of still being of use to the world after you die. At least that's what I got from this poem. The only thing I would say is just to put more feeling in it. Other than that, I loved it! Keep it up.
"Now I lay me
Down to sleep,
I pray thee Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray thee Lord my soul to take."
