When I Die - A Poem

When I die,
please don’t leave me where I lie,
Lay me down in a field of green
where the woods surround me
and the hills are serene.
 
When I die,
lay me to rest somewhere high
close to the clear blue sky,
with a view of mountains in the distance
that remind me of the Lord’s existence.
 
When I die,
please don’t cry,
for I’m not under the thick clay,
though my soul will visit, if I may.
 
I’m sure I will miss my green hills,
the Summer heats and the Autumn chills,
but know that I am home
somewhere up in that beautiful blue dome.

I Am A Wild Rose (#2) - A Poem

I am a wild rose,
I love to be free,
please don’t take that away from me.
 
I am a wild rose,
not one to retrain or contain,
more like lines of free verse prose,
I’m not one to hold to one lane.
 
I am a wild rose,
it is not the pain that I fear,
but the ties that bind me,
and loss of the independence I hold dear.
 
I am a wild rose,
I don’t mind settling down,
happy in the life I chose,
but I won’t wear the gown.
