Last Breath
(Lee-Ann Olivier)

If I should die,
bury me not in pointless earth,
but in a peaceful sea, underneath a clear
  sky -
the home of endless rebirth.

Remember me;
Remember my last words, think happy thoughts, for I am and will
  always be glee.
Why should you, too, not be?

Don't shed a single tear
for I am reunited with my Maker -
our Creator who watches over us all with
  no fear.
Fear Him for He is mighty and our
  Creator.

Remember Him when in doubt.
Love life, for every breath you breathe is
  granted by Him.
Should He take life, don't be in doubt,
just believe and accept fate, for death is
  merely a new beginning.
