    I"ve always liked this one:

    F ree your body and soul

    U nfold your powerful wings

    C limb up the highest mountains

    K ick your feet up in the air

    Y ou may now live forever

    O r return to this earth

    U nless you feel good where you are

    The world's oldest woman lies dead.

    They found her in naked in bed,

    And asked her latest beau,

    "Did you give her a go?"

    And being so young he got red.

    : I will be divided and donated to people who need my parts, and the rest will be burned and buried at the roots of a baby tree.

    I saw a peanut stand, Heard a rubber band, I saw a town with a wounded knee.
    But I think I will have seen everything When I see a baby tree.

    Since I started doing genealogy awhile back, I really would like to have a tombstone like the ones you see in an old part of the cemetery, a "Woodsmen of the World" tombstone. They are usually shaped like trees or tree stumps...but they don't make them anymore.

    Just put my cremains in a niche and be done with it...

    When shall I be dead and rid

    Of the wrong my father did?

    How long, how long, till spade and hearse

    Put to sleep my mother's curse?

    T.H. White, The Once and Future King


    Do not stand at my grave and weep;

    I am not there. I do not sleep.

    I am a thousand winds that blow.

    I am the diamond glints on snow.

    I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

    I am the gentle autumn rain.

    When you awaken in the morning's hush

    I am the swift uplifting rush

    Of quiet birds in circled flight.

    I am the soft stars that shine at night.

    Do not stand at my grave and cry;

    I am not there. I did not die.

    anon

    I want one of those pencil shaped monuments so I can have something written on each side...
