FLOWERS by Joanne Boyle

"FLOWERS" by Joanne Boyle
Don't sit by my grave and say sorry
or place flowers at my place of rest.
Come and join me at my table
when I invite you to be my guest.
Do not tell everyone I was wonderful
when I can no longer hear.
Tell me to my face my friend
because to me it wasn't clear.
Do not shed a tear for me
that is really born from your regrets.
Instead make sure you won't have any,
let us share each others secrets.
Do not stand in a church doorway
and shake the hands of friends,
whilst believing in your heart
that this will make amends.
Do not bring me flowers
unless I can smell how sweet they are.
Bring them when I'm alive
and not watching from afar.
