Here lies the body of Nick O TymeWho never thought of crossing the lineLived his life as quiet as could beOnly stimulant consumed was teaSaved a lady from the path of a train
My presence might not be there,
But I will be in your heart
So please don't mourn for my death
But be happy that you still have breath.
A word to my loved ones
Who still walk this earth:
Do not cry for me
For this body is only a shell
Rather, laugh with me in the breeze
Smile with me in the sunshine
Drift with me on the tide
At the end of my life when all those who remain attend my funeral, I want it to be said that I marched to the beat of my own drums and I sang out of key. I saw beauty where others only saw trash. I fought in place of those who could not.
