If I die young,
What will I have left behind?
Two beautiful children
who are brave, handsome and kind.
A loving husband who
gave me his all.
My beautiful family,
where no deed is too small.
But if I die young,
I will always know
How my sons' understand
that my soul will still grow.
Into Heaven's sweet arms
I will gently be welcomed.
My life will go on
My dreams still remembered.
If I die young
Although sad it will be,
I will always live on through my dear family.
