When I Die

When I Die

If I should die, cover me not with stone.
Instead, make a tree my graven throne.
Each breath it sighs will be as my own.
Its rustling leaves my gentle tone
and continue singing when I am gone.

Loved this wholeheartedly. Resteemed, people need to read it.

Very nice! This is somehow soothing.
