MY LAST REQUEST
Please don't say that I gave up Just say that I gave in.
Dont say I lost the battle for its God's war to lose or win.
Please don't say how good I was but that I did my best
Just say I tried to do what's right to give the most I could, not less.
Please don't give me wings or halos, that's for God to do.
I want no more than I deserve no extras, just my due
Please don't give flowers, or talk in real hushed tones
Don't be concerned about me now, I'm with God, I've made it home
Don't talk about what could have been Its over and it's done
Just see to all my family's needs, especially the little ones
When you draw a picture of me don't draw me as a saint
I've done some good, I've done some wrong so use all your paint
Not just the bright and light tones use some grey and dark
In fact, don't put me down on canvas, paint me in your heart
Dont just remember all the good times But remember all the bad
For life is full of many things some happy and some sad.
But if you must do something then I have one last request.
Forgive me for the wrongs I've done and with the love that's left
Thank God for my soul's resting,
Thank God for I've been blessed
Thank God for all who loved me,
PRAISE GOD who loved me best
