I have asked the mortician to close my box For in this box lies only the shell you knew The shell of who I used to be to you all On my last breath my soul to heaven went Please remember me alert and breathing Not in my box without a breath left in me What is in this box I want no one to view As my soul is no longer on earth with you Please go on with your life knowing this I loved you on earth and will in heaven too In heaven with others who went before me I'll be waiting when God calls you to join us Entry into P.D's "Emotional Write" contest.
