Don't Lie for me

Don't Lie for me

When I lie cold and blue

Breathless and without pulse

In a box and alone

When you gather to say goodbye

And you are asked to say something about me

Don’t lie for me

Tell them how nasty I was

Tell them how obstinate I was

Tell them how greedy I was

Tell them how selfish I was

Don’t tell them I was never without a smile

Don’t tell them I was easygoing and friendly

Don’t tell them I was generous

Don’t tell them I was perfect when I wasn’t

Don’t tell them I’m going to heaven

Don’t lie for me!

If I can, let me do what is right, now that I am alive and  have the opportunity

So that you won’t be lying when you tell them how I’ve lived right

But if I don’t………………Don’t lie for me!

Hi Rose,

Oh goodness, so hard on yourself.  As I've quoted before, "Let ye who is without sin cast the first stone".  We all have our inadequacies.  From the depths and altruism of your words, There Is a beautiful side of you.  "The evil that one does lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones".  You can prevent this before it is too late.  Make your eulogist not have to lie for you.

Peace and Love,

xox Larry

Hi Larry, Thanks a lot for your words.  There's a saying that says "Live your life in a way that nobody would have to lie at your funeral"  We can do that  now that we are alive and still have the opportunity....Cheers.

xoxo...Rose
