When I Die Poem by Joey Smith

When I Die



Lay me, in a solitary grave yard.
Where no one has been laid there before.
I wan't a tall square grave stone laid on top of me.
Lay me under a sicamore.

Lay a purple flower on top of my grave stone,
because purple is my least favorite color of them all.
Buy a blue jay, and stand over my grave and let fly away.
And may that sicamore grow high and tall.

I want it to grow high, to touch the sky, for all to see.
Because this is the remembrance of me.

Do not know why there was an oversight per comments on this poem It's nice, rhymes and has a basic dying man's last request for rememberance via his grave marker. Liked the releasing into flight the Blue Jay. Nice-I'd give it a nine for good imagery. God bless-Michael Jeffrey Gale.
