Cremate Me



And when I am blank,
Lay me in a place where my soul can sway.
Lay me on my babies chest,
So I can hear the prayers they say.
Lay me near their hearts so they can feel my presence when they lay.

About this poem

When i am gone I just want my children to plant me in a garden. I dont like highways, I dont like deep water, and I dont like being in the air. I just want to be where they are !!
