If I Die Poem by Chukwukadibia Benjamin

If I die
I would be glad I once made thee smile

If I die
I would be glad I once brought thee inside
When it storms and rains outside

If I die
I would be glad I gave thee my coat
And comforted thee when sick and cold

If I die
I would be glad thou once shared my bed
When thine was forcefully held

If I die
I would be glad I listened to thy story
When thou was rejected and lonely

If I die
I would be glad I was a friend
Who always cared how thou fared

If I die
I want to be glad I once wiped thy tears
When thy face was drained of cheers

If I die
I want to be glad I was kind
Allaying all the fears in thy mind

If I die
I want to feel peace in my heart
Knowing I have shown thee the right path

If I die
I want to be happy I once held thy hand
And prayed the prosperity of our land

If I die
I would be happy I joined in thy fight
On thy behalf took a bullet

If I die
I want to be glad I was a shoulder to lean
And thy strength through thick and thin

If I die
I would be glad I helped thee reach a height
Thou couldn't get alone by thy strength and might

If I die
I want to be glad I was a brother
In whose company thou would of no evil border

If I die
I want to be glad my life was fully poured out
And that I had nothing in life to regret about

If I die
No matter time and place
Think of me with smiles on thy face
