In Case I Die, Here’s my Goodbye
An Original Poem by Rose:Red
To everyone I’ve ever known,
Thank you for the love you’ve shown
Thank you for encouragement when times were tough,
And for keeping me going when I thought I’d had enough
And to my friends whom I will protect,
Thank you all for knowing that I’m not perfect
There will be not a day I allow to go by,
When I don’t think of our friendship and tear up and cry
I’ll always be with you, though you won’t know I’m there,
And remind you of all the good times when you say you don’t care
Hello to the boy I never really noticed in school,
My friends said to stay away because you weren’t cool
I paid no mind and took a chance,
That’s why I said “yes” when you asked me to dance
And goodbye to my teachers who have enlightened me with so much,
I hope it means a lot when I say I was touched
Now I have saved the most painful for last,
The ones who know every piece of my past
My family, I love you, body and soul,
To you I wish I never had to let go
I’m lying in bed now, thinking ahead,
Remember, this is just in case, I’m far from dead
