Here

But more than anything, 

I wish you to be here,

Be here when I am no longer,

So that you can say wonderful things about me,

Because in death no one ever portrays reality.

So you'll say things like;

"Oh she was nice",

And "It's a shame".

But I want to hear what you have to say,

Because everyone needs that sometimes.

Why can not we have everyone

Just going around saying

Whatever they would

As if it were the person's last day?

Do you know 

How many smiles that would bring?

How many lives would be saved?

How many people would finish their songs?

But to train the entire world?

That would take a while.

Out of absolute necessity though

We should.

And amazement would befall

The people who would be saved,

And the people doing the saving

Oh my,

The wonders of this world 

Will never cease.
