"When
I'm Long Gone..."
When I'm no
longer breathing,
When my
ashes are spread
Over the
Pacific Ocean,
Hope this
letter reaches
My family
& they cry
Tears of
happiness & joy,
No plans of
leaving this
Planet
anytime soon
But when I
do...
I don't
want my
Life to be
lived in vain,
Struggles I
have faced & pain
That I have
encountered,
I've been
living life
On the go,
No time to
enjoy
The
beautiful moments,
Let anger
take a hold of me,
Allowed
leaches to drown
My spirit,
No longer
will I live life
While
allowing others
Negativity
to choke me,
Exhale
freely,
Breathe in
then out,
Live life
gracefully,
Thankful
for my family,
Every
minute I was blessed
To have
them around me,
Here's my
love letter,
I'll put my
heart on the line,
Give
anything for those I love to know
How much I
truly care for them,
Granny
always told me
To live out
my dreams,
On her
death bed,
She held me
told me
She loved
me unconditionally,
Daddy
raised me with a
General's
mentality,
Momma told
me to be kind
While in
the face of adversity,
Younger
brother gave me
The
strength I need to proceed
Even when
he doubted me,
His presence
always brought me
Back home
safely,
Now I know
who I am,
Where I
come from,
No one can
take away
My shine,
My strength,
So when I'm
long gone,
Allow my
legacy to
Build &
Continue On...
