When I Die

Lucus Rougeou 1978 (Louisiana)

What will be said when I die?
Well anyone even mourn or cry?

The life I've lived has definitely been a tough one.
I hope everyone knows how much i really loved them.

I wish Ida done things differently i really really do.
I should've took my blessings and handed them all off to you.

Life is short it goes by n a flash.
Looking forward to the future regretting some of the past

I fought the fight of faith the very best I could.
Although all i did wasnt always good.

Please! Please! Please! Hear my Plea.
When you recall remember the good in me.

Please remember the memories that we shared
And though I didn't always show it always know that I cared.
