POEM - If I don’t wake up in the morning

If I don’t wake up in the morning

If I don’t wake up in the morning
Give everyone my love
I will be watching over you
From the heavens up above

Thank them for the help they gave
To me whilst I was there
For the happiness and laughter
We had together each year

To my lovely children
Who will be crying for some time?
I will be beside you forever
As you go along your own lifeline

Don’t be hard on others
Don’t swear or rant and rave
Remember all the times we had
And all the love we gave

If I don’t wake up in the morning
I will be waiting next to god
We will meet again some day
When you’re ready, give me the nod
