Here I lie quite lifeless

Here I lie quite lifeless, well, that’s what you’d expect of me

A funeral without a deceased would be an unusual thing to see

So, thank you for coming, it’ll all be over soon

I’ll be underground in one form, be it as ashes or some form of tomb

It comes to us all one day, never knowing when

Life is precious to be cherished and enjoyed, you’ll never experience it again

Try to be good and thoughtful people, well mannered, courteous and kind

Value your family connections, act with good morals in body and in mind

I trust they have arranged an after party, a reception or wake whatever it is called

Where you can celebrate me and my hopefully fruitful life, leaving you positive, in good spirit or even enthralled

A Final word to those dearest, I’m sorry to leave you so soon

However, there’s a que of unborn babies desperately waiting to leave their mother’s womb.

My love and heart felt affection, in these final words I convey

As much as you will miss me, I hope, please move on with little delay.
