If I Should Die. ~~~Daniel J D~~~ If I should die in summer All I want is for you to remember That my life for all of you I lived knowing that I loved you Even though, many days I hurt alone The silence of your distance Kept me fighting for just a glance A sign that you never wished I was gone. If I should die in autumn Let the leaves of sorrow Only envelope one tomorrow Take a good look at the days We all shared, although many strained Our lives together was never chained Bring back and relive those memories Hold them in your hearts and sing the melodies If I should die in winter Release those cold days from your hearts Bring out the whiteness and sincerity of love Speak of me the way you would describe a white dove Put your arms around each other For I want you all to remember I may not at times have shown my innerself But I always loved you more than myself Some of the dreams I had for you I never achieved, but what better dream It has been knowing, my heart was all for you If I should die in spring Gather each a white flower And before you place it on my cover Think of me as the person Who cared for you with boundless love I stood alone, through every season Hurdled the greatest challenges To make your lives one of reason Seven white flowers in spring Is all I ask from you my family Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Ron, Thank you so much. I often ask myself how much more love a person can give. Snowpants, You are a treasure. Better to let the feelings be known before it is too late. Thank you for your support. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |

Victoria, Serenity, Bloomingrose, Butterflies, Corinne, Thank you all so much for your tender words. I really appreciate your comments at all times. Life can be difficult to cope with, but death is even tougher, particularly for those so close to you. Opening up before, is better than leaving questions unanswered. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |
