If I Die Tomorrow

If I Die Tomorrow

If I die tomorrow

Don't shed tears on my shroud,

Rather sow a seed beside my grave

That shall grow as a plant and sprout.

Come and see me whenever you like

Utter your prayers to the almighty,

But tend the plant you sowed

As it also remains lonly and thirsty.

Your love and prayer shall abate my sufferings

As our lord bestows mercy upon me,

Share that love and mercy with the neighboring plant

For it alleviates my sins and increases good deeds in me.

Love that arbor and nurture it the way you loved me

So it grows and matures everyday,

Tie it to your heart as you kept me there

So your love in my soul reflects as its leaves ripple and sway.

Expand your love for me

You do so, by allowing others to rest under that tree,

There's a little for you and me in this life

Since, we look forward to our lord's endless love; happiness and glee.

If I die tomorow

Know and let know that we all depart one day,

But all we take back are our faith, love, and deeds

Thus we complete a full-circle through death and decay.

For the almighty creator we come from

To the almighty lord we return.
