My Death Wish

Had my life been filled with sadness and sorrow
There would be no looking forward to tomorrow
Though the years went by so fast
Our memories with each other will always last.

My heart may die, but never my soul
Whether I\'m buried in the ground or kept as coal,
All of you will never forget
This little boy you once met.

If any of you are crying, wipe away the tears
Remember me? I was the one who lived those many years.
Please stop mom and dad. I am your son
I am happy, I am the safe one.

Matt, 15 years I kept you in my sight
Now all we can do, is hold the memories tight.
Now, each moment we spent together
Will be precious to us *forever*

Mike, you will be my best friend
Friends together till the very end
This is not the end you see.
But simply the beginning, a whole new world to be.

The day my soul lifted high,
I know all you couldn\'t bear it,
All you could do was cry.

God told us something we did not know,
I have all your hands, telling you where to go.

You all watched over me while i was there
Now i will watch over you from up here.
We all knew this day would be
Never did we want to be separated - you and me
