  Death by Theodora Colt Flynn
   
  When I die
  I shall reach my hands to heaven
 

and flow up out of my body

  I shall wait by the dead one moment
 

then cover my body with autumn leaves

  I shall wander through fall and winter
 

and pause a moment in spring

  And there I shall lay myself down in a field of daisies
 

and whisper this song to myself,

 

I am part of the earth

 

I am the earth

 

And daisies are growing up out of my heart ...
