When I am dead my dearest,
Stay a while with me,
Dress me up as a bride,
Break open a champagne,
Throw a Big farewell party,
For I lived a long and fine life.
When I am dead my dearest,
Stay a while with me,
I will watch over you from the moon,
Where all the other angel brides be,
I will be the wind in the woods and whistle you a fine tune,
You can smell me in the Jasmine,
Or the wet moss beneath your feet,
You will find me humming in the rose buds with the golden bees,
Or giddily swimming with the fish in the pond near the cherry tree.
When I am dead my dearest,
Stay a while with me,
Plant a kiss on my lips,
Cradle me softly with your love, before you put me back to sleep,
Dim the lights my darling and sing me a soft lullaby,
When I am dead my dearest,
Do stay a while with me.
Sweet and lovely, Ubecute. Moving too.
Thank you very much.
Wow! What a beautifully touching piece! Tears are inevitable when reading it. Nice work!
Poignant and bittersweet. Your description was beautiful and it flowed very smoothly. It just hurt my heart…in a good way, I suppose!
Thank you so much, you are very kind and generous with your compliments. 🙂
Nice work 😀

Wow! Beautiful. Real good.
Thank you Saji 🙂
We did this with my husband. It was so healing after his weeks of illness to have him dressed in regular clothes, lying on the bed as though sleeping, with friends coming to visit. It somehow dispelled the memory of the pain and illness. I loved your poem. http://judydykstrabrown.com/2015/07/06/remember-me/
So sorry to hear you had to go through it. Loss of a loved one is the hardest time in one’s life. God bless and thanks for sharing.
Well done… I greatly enjoyed!
