Don’t carve my name

In stone, somewhere

And put me in the ground.

Though body’s here,

The soul is gone,

A better place is found.

So let this body find a place

Among the ash and dust

Where it has spent the happy hours

Of life and love and trust.

Then take me to

That special place

And on a windy day

Just let me go with no sad heart

And let me fly away.
