adding to If I Die Young

A Poem by Sarah W. French

If I die young, bury me in satin
And remember my life
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
with a book in my hand
Sink me in the river, at dawn
A favorite place to be
Send me away with the words of a love song

And read my final poetry
...
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
laughing all the while
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
And ready to begin anew
I've never known the lovin' of a man
And I guess I never will
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,

Could it have been twu wuv?
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,
I guess thats not enough
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

A darkened heart and
the sharp knife of a short life, well,
I never would have thought
I've had just enough time
To learn about love
