An invitation to death I
by Rommel CruzDeath, come to me gently as I sleep
Like pleasant dreams of memories passed
And cherished love forever in my keep
Death, come to me gently as I sleep
Like a soft bed of leaves amassed
And cool breeze that cuts me deep
Death, come to me gently as I sleep 08/24/2002 Author's Note: As you can see/read, I just want a peaceful death. No accidents, illness whatever =)

Perhaps because to me death is not an ending but the start of a whole new journy. I loved the note at the end! lol... no accidents indeed. |
